1:01 PM
BBC Radio 4 has a program called Tweet of the Day. It's... not quite what you'd expect
 
Lies, it's exactly what I expected.
 
@PrivatePansy you are right, I expected it being about tweed jackets, but thats because I am dyslexic

Q: Do the EXP UP and AP UP passives affect just the character or the entire party?

ShadurThe iOS version of Final Fantasy V has the same bonus classes that the GBA had, among which is the Cannoneer, who can gain the passive ability to earn XP at a faster rate, as well as the Oracle who gets a passive that increases AP gain. My questions: 1. Do these abilities apply to just the cha...

Q: Do the Charge Badges in Streetpass Mansion stack?

StuperUserI have a charge badge (plus 5% to charge speed) and charge badge +1 (plus 10% to charge speed) in my inventory in the StreetPass Mansion game. Do these bonuses stack to give 15% or do I only have 10%?

 
@Lazers Nooooo, I didn't make it!
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@PrivatePansy I saw this when it had first came out, someone shared it to me on Facebook...
It's cool, though.
 
1:35 PM
^ Fix it!
 
I was fixing it!
 
<3
I love that song
My buddy's floor of the dorms made a music video for it once
 
I don't know how it's so good.

Then they got busted for someone having booze in their room.... and I snuck down the stairs
 
1:38 PM
cu people
 
So I thought that, now that I do have a residence in Munich, I'd get to like tour the city and whatnot. Then the spirit of paperwork future came to me and softly whispered - Kreisverwaltungsreferat
 
Today's What If is all about rocket science.
That I already knew from playing Kerbal Space Program.
 
@badp The city law enforcement?
 
Basically the city administration centre
With nine different queues based on your surname starting letters
this is serious business
 
Why don't they just give you a ticket with a number on it and an estimated waiting time?
 
1:51 PM
That's what they do, but there are nine different waiting rooms with nine different number systems and nine different sets of people serving on each room
 
Reminds me of the time we had to visit Singapore's immigration and checkpoint building to get paperwork sorted out.
Got there first thing in the morning, queued for a ticket and was told to come back after lunch
 
I guess this lets every waiting room be smaller and the help desks less swamped out
Heh, I should be able to do at least half of the paperwork done before 6pm
@yij at least they were honest
 
Hey, it's @badp, you're still alive.
 
I dunno if this counts as alive
 
@badp moved to germany?
 
1:57 PM
Til sometime in February, aye.
Some idiots came up to me and said, hey we want to pay you and I was like let's do this. So here I am.
 
How much German do you speak?
 
I'm midway the set of basic German lessons in duolingo
So little enough German to still make up obviously genuinely fake German compound words, unlike Kreisverwaltungsreferat
and like Herrbureaucracypaiperwerkshellonearthemunchen, ja.
 
@badp Have fun, btw. :P
 
thanks :-P
 
Should end up being rather fast, though. Had you been there, say, two weeks ago, it would be a mess.
 
2:03 PM
yyyyyy
sweet
 
or rather, danks Herr Psycopathenmanncruxificatingnichtbadpstraßeplacelivungduden
 
Just go and drink some beer after the bureaucracy is finished with you.
 
I'd like to say I've had enough beer for the rest of the month but I'll have to get my residence permit first. I suspect they check your BAC and reject you if it's too low
 
@badp Oktoberfest is a permanent thing in Germany!
 
"Lieben Sodostthinkederbeerbinnichtgutfuryurliver, gtfo. Danke, Kreisverwaltungsreferat."
 
2:07 PM
I don't like the new German @badp.
 
@ori yes, but not liking things is your thing so it's kind of unsurprising
 
The new German @badp is more efficient, cost effective and elegantly designed, but suffers from unfortunate censorship policies
3
 
Besides I'll be gone in just four numbers.
 
@badp I am a professional disliker.
 
Yes, every mention of sour skittles will be met with instant* censorship
 
2:09 PM
@OrigamiRobot That is ungood
 
@badp We're bracing for your rage when you get back out. :P

A: What's missing for my "perfect town"?

Alonso RecheGiving up on it, it could be glitched for all I know... I'll just go on playing and hope one day I get it.

Gah. That's not how you self-answer!
 
@GnomeSlice Why? I get paid to dislike things.
 
Morning, Bridge
 
@fei rage of the "I didn't know I needed that document" type?
 
2:10 PM
@OrigamiRobot Now that's just stupid.
Hej @SaintWacko
 
@GnomeSlice I had forgotten how much fun Megabyte Punch is
 
@badp Pretty much, yeh.
 
@GnomeSlice You are not qualified to determine what is stupid and what is not.
 
I'm kind of already afraid that'll happen. I'd almost forgotten this was a thing I had to do and came here unprepared
 
@SaintWacko It is amazing isn't it.
Megabyte Punch is the shit.
 
2:11 PM
@GnomeSlice I originally had pretty much every unlocked ability equipped, but now I've switched to just having the ones I'm using plus one extra
 
Like I don't have a biometric photo for the next part.
 
And put the rest of my parts on bonuses
And I found a mine-layer part :D
 
Since I'm defeated before I start rage is unlikely
Sorry.
 
@badp RAGEQUIT
 
So. I'm attempting to familiarize myself with unit testing. Anyone have any links to stuff I can read up on?
 
2:12 PM
@SaintWacko Having extra abilities is pointless, usually. I'm still kieeping one though because I like the lookof the part
tablet typing
 
@GnomeSlice I just keep drill as an extra ability
 
@SaintWacko I can't play without the drill
 
@badp Nah, they'll go through all you're missing with you. Unless it's that one prick, he'll just tell you to gtfo until you got it all ...
 
@fbu almost anything about programming in ruby will cover that at some point
 
My four abilities are scythe as center, dash as side, batwing as up, and mine as down
And then I can switch in drill when I need it
 
2:13 PM
@fei I'm just uneasy that apparently you need a rent contract before you can get a residence permit
 
I usually switch it in for scythe so I can more easily control the direction
 
I'm happy the European union is a thing that exists btw
It's making all of the paperwork much easier
 
@badp Don't fool yourself. It just makes fetching what you need a lot more complicated.
 
All the bank wanted from me is a passport
e.g.
I get to skip half of the papers needed
 
2:16 PM
@badp You're talking about Germany here. Bureaucracy is the bane of their existance. It's still an awful lot more complicated than it should be.
 
That's from before the finalupdate though
The shoulder part now has an ability I don't use on it
 
Ehh. I'm sure bureaucracy in Italy is a thousand times worse, stating from our level of English
So no complaints from me!
 
@GnomeSlice I really want to find a tornado part
Those look awesome
 
@SaintWacko They're pretty fun. Try in the ancient tech ruins
You're talking about the spinny tornado thing right
It's pretty OP
 
@GnomeSlice I think that's where I am now, and yeah, I'm seeing a lot of enemies with those
 
2:18 PM
Used it to beat the final boss
 
Getting a passport in Italy involved a three hours waiting in a room where numbers weren't called without a tune. I almost barely had to do the queue again
 
Yeah you'll probably find some
You can't store parts now though
you have to break them apart
which is weird
 
and by almost barely I mean I missed my turn by one
 
Going through a door will still store them
 
@GnomeSlice Wait, what do you mean?
Oh, yeah, you used to be able to send them back at anytime...
Forgot about that
 
2:19 PM
@SaintWacko You used to be able to go into your inventory and 'store' all the parts you'd found, but now you can't
@SaintWacko Also, what happened when you started a new game? Was there any story or special sequence?
I'm hesitant to lose all my shit
 
@badp Well, Germany is more efficient in manpower. Doesn't mean the paperwork itself is any less complicated.
Or overly redundant ...
Or pointless to a tremendous extent.
 
So did our favorite Skyrim guide poster self-delete his second answer, or was it community deleted?
 
@fbueckert Does it matter?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, there's a short sequence talking about the heartcore and megacs
But I'm not sure it's new
 
@SaintWacko sheeeeeit
I started playing when it still had the old town map.
Didn't have any of that
 
2:24 PM
Ah, okay
I couldn't remember
 
There was like one robot you talk to who was like hi welcome to the tournament
 
@GnomeSlice Heh, yeah, I remember that :D
 
beh
 
That was the whole game
A tournament
 
I'll install it on my laptop or something for the story experience
 
2:25 PM
HI WELCOME TO THE TOURNAMENT
 
such as it is
 
@GnomeSlice It's not bad
It does actually have a story now
 
@SaintWacko well you had to go through the levels to get to the drill guy remember
That was back when the drill core had this huge purple drill thing on your back
 
@GnomeSlice Right, but you just needed the drill to get to the tournament
 
Oh right
yeah
hahaha
@SaintWacko You should ask a question about where the colour capsules are on the site at some point
 
2:26 PM
@GnomeSlice Heh, because you have a ready-made answer? :P
 
Mostly. the developers posted an image with the capsules and locations, but they aren't orered properly or labelled with names
 
So anybody else got in the SE app beta? :-)
 
Imight label them. I might even order them but that will actually take a long fucking time
@RonanForman ooooooooo
 
@badp nope
 
2:29 PM
@GnomeSlice Whoa, just found a secret door in a house in the village

user2678702In NASA, two researchers, Mathew and John, started their work on a new planet, but while practicing research they faced a mathematical difficulty. In order to save the time they divided their work.So scientist Mathew worked on a piece and invented a number computed with the following formula:T(n)...

 
@SaintWacko Yeah, that's new
I forget where it goes
 
@GnomeSlice Some house
 
@OrigamiRobot Shouldn't this question still have the 3ds and streetpass tags rather than a new tag that no-one is following?
 
With a colour capsule
@StuperUser Psst... http://
 
2:31 PM
Oh right, the guy that says if you can get to it you can keep it
Just go up through the ceiling somewhere
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, already got it
 
@StuperUser Also, the link is in (), not []
 
@SaintWacko [text](url)
 
Gonna go soon, got an interview
 
Also, Megabyte Punch makes thismputer lag
 
2:32 PM
@SaintWacko Try pausing the game right as your bomb explodes
New bug in the final release
 
@StuperUser It should be tagged with the name of the game.
 
@StuperUser We try to tag games only with their game names.
 
Actually it might have been there all along
 
The platform tags are only used if it's different on different platforms.
 
@GnomeSlice Heh. I don't have bombs yet on this computer
 
2:33 PM
Omigosh, Hammerwatch is out!
 
@RedRiderX yeeeeeeesssss!!
Yesterday!
 
Since Streetpass Mansion is only out for 3DS, the tag is sorta redundant.
 
@SaintWacko It seems like it stops the bomb expansion thing so the whole level starts shaking while it's paused
 
isn't needed because it can't be about anything else.
 
Makes sense, will remember that in the future. I don't have 300 rep to create new tags yet, so I'll create them with as specific as possible.
 
2:34 PM
@StuperUser If you need to, just pop in here and ask someone to retag it for you.
 
Cracking, will do.
Thanks
 
@RedRiderX Ooh, looks cool.
 
@RonanForman Yeah it's based on the gauntlet series
but all pixelly
 
@RonanForman Yes very cool.
 
pretty sweet
 
2:36 PM
I'm assuming you've all bought it already.
 
If you buy it from their site you can save $1 although that might only have been yesterday
Are they offering a four pack or something on steam?
 
@GnomeSlice Can I download it standalone there?
 
@SaintWacko Probably, but Ithink it also comes with a steam key
 
They have DRM free + steam for $8, or a 4 pack for the price of 3.
 
3 each. gah I don't even have that
 
2:37 PM
@GnomeSlice 3 what?
 
you said price of 3
oh wait
 
@fei I had everything I needed and was done in a hour. IN YOUR FACE!!!
 
Jin
i survived the my little pony bday party lastnight
 
I thoght you meant $3 each
I thought that sounded too good to be true
 
2:38 PM
$24 then right

@Jin You'd have had more fun if you hadn't cut your mane.
 
@Jin That is bad.

@Jin dude... no
=[
Anyway I'm off, interview time
monies, etc
 
Jin
well, when little girls/boys ask me to put them on, i couldn't say no.
 
@Jin You should have put them all on so nobody else could have any.
 
@RedRiderX @SaintWacko @GnomeSlice Are you all looking to buy it?
 
20 minutes - Work over, 50 minutes Payday 2 time
 
2:42 PM
@RonanForman I'd be interested, but the problem is I don't just want it on Steam :-\
I want to be able to put it on my flash drive
 
@SaintWacko It says DRM free.
 
@RonanForman Yeah I guess, but If I get it, I'll use their Humble Store thing.
It's still cheaper then steam.
 
@RedRiderX That's what I was looking at.
 
@RonanForman Ooh, in that case, I'd go in on a 4-pack
I thought you were looking at the Steam 4-pack
I know @GnomeSlice would be interested if he hasn't bought it, not sure if he has the money for it, though
 
@SaintWacko I didn't check the steam prices.

Q: How to make wasal from your own provinces?

iberI earned in war, as a Imperator in HRE, Ansbach province with idea that I will let them free as my wasal. But after I earn it I don't see any option to make it happen. This was possible in EU III so I hope they let to make this possible in next game iteration.

 
@RonanForman At the price of a 4-pack it's a negligible difference.
 
@Jin The game only has a demo as of now, right?
 
@RedRiderX Steam is much more expensive.
 
Jin
@PrivatePansy what?
 
2:47 PM
@Jin Those rings look a little large. Also, buttons are more practical than rings for most purposes
 
@RonanForman I see ~$26.99 USD, but yeah it could vary.
 
Weird, that reply should have went to the new question
Eh, chat is lagging on this tablet...
 
Jin
@PrivatePansy but rings made me feel extra princessy
 
Sometimes I think @GraceNote is secretly Randall Monroe
 
2:50 PM
I almost actually want to take offense to that.
 
Why?
I'd take it as a compliment, before saying that no, I'm not.
 
Eh, it's kinda hard to put to words. I mean, I do enjoy reading XKCD, moreso the what-ifs, but... there's summat, y'know what I mean?
 
@OrigamiRobot I'd say that @GraceNote is the secret head of Gracenote Inc.
Gracenote, Inc., formerly called CDDB (Compact Disc Data Base), is a company that maintains and licenses an Internet-accessible database containing information about the contents of audio compact discs and vinyl records. It provides software and metadata to businesses that enable their customers to manage and search digital media. Gracenote provides its media management technology and global media database of digital entertainment information to the mobile, automobile, portable, home, and PC markets.

@GraceNote I dig.
 
2:52 PM
also I don't really like XKCD
how's that for an unpopular opinion?!
 
@FEichinger So... cats playing Hungry Hungry Hippos
 
@GraceNote Yep.
 
@GraceNote Do you deny that a sheep zapping a cactus is along the lines of what might be in one of your notebooks?
 
@FEichinger I like him
 
Jin
@Mana so brave
 
2:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot I will actually deny this.
 
I don't believe that.
 
@Jin The only ring that ever appeared on the show is for a wedding. So who are you getting married to? :p
 
Jin
@PrivatePansy my miserable parenthood apparently.

If @grace had a company the logo would look nothing like that
 
@OrigamiRobot If I'm bored I write. This has been a fact of the past as well as the present. When I do artwork, it's primarily polearms, swords, clothing, or sigils if I don't have an objective.
 
2:56 PM
It'd probably be an obscure cultural reference stylised into a shape made of hundreds of tiny poisonous mushroom-shaped bricks
 
@badp Poisonous mushrooms are an interest, not an icon, to me.
 
Chat is lagging real bad. That last message took 5 minutes to send
 
@badp How do you know it's not something like that?
 
@GraceNote I didn't say it had to be a drawing. Just the sort of topic I'd expect.
 
It's just that obscure.
 
2:57 PM
@OrigamiRobot In that sense it's still wrong, as I usually have a specific subject I'm writing on. I don't usually do spontaneity when it comes to borewriting.
 
@grace that's why they're almost in the background, hard to spot for anybody but similarly interested people
 
And none of my specific subjects really approach the kind of subject matter that lends itself to produce a sheep zapping a cactus.
 
I stand firm in my disbelief.
 
If my logo isn't my stylized artist signature, it's going to be pretty simple and have nothing to do with mushrooms.
 
Mmmk. I suppose we therefore can determine your stylised artist signature is a mushroom
 
3:00 PM
Nope.
 
But... but... Fine.
 
NO I REFUSE TO GIVE UP!
 
It took me 5 minutes to realise what the hell a 'wesel' is suppose to be
 
Mushrooms are an interest. They're an equal interest to me as, say, strong acids and the aurora borealis, but neither are icons to me. They're just a fancy, and not even the sort that qualifies for a list.
 
@PrivatePansy You mean the German town?
 
3:02 PM
I thought they'd be more to you than that given your famous mystical mushroom taste comparison test
That's all.
 
'Wasal', rather. I misspelled the misspelling gaming.stackexchange.com/posts/127403/revisions
 
@badp The Mushroom Test is to identify not my favoritism towards mushrooms, but towards what my interests are in general.
 
@PrivatePansy You sure that's not supposed to be a vassal?
 
@yij you could've at least misspelled misspelling to make that a misspelling trifecta
 
Which is why it works, really.
 
3:05 PM
I want pancakes something fierce today
 
Oohhh, so it's a trick question. "which mushroom is better?" "The insect crawling the one on the right!"

Today is an hour? Yeesh.
 
Time flies when you have fun
 
True that, my friend. True that.
 
@GraceNote Of course today is an hour. Tomorrow is a month, after all.
 
3:09 PM
@FEichinger Huh, apparently it is. I've always thought the correct spelling was vessel. Mind helping me correct that? Editing in this tablet is really hard.
 
@PrivatePansy A vessel is a ship, generally, soo ... That's probably not what you meant there. :P
 
@FEichinger Or, more generally, a container
 
Well, if one was an evil god bent on having a pull on the physical world, having a mortal vessel is usually a thing to do.
 
Well yeah, but I thought the two terms shared the same spelling.
 
@murgatroid99 It tends to be a self-propellled one, too.
 
3:12 PM
Nope, different spelling and I believe most folks use different pronunciation to go in hand.
 
Also, Google on Android suddenly decided that my language for its products should be Chinese, and Chrome hilariously asked if I want to translate the page back into English
 
> vessel: n a container (as a cask, bottle, kettle, cup, or bowl) for holding something
First definition from Mirriam Webster
 
My tablet's asked me if I want to keep using google.it or switch to Google.de. I wish it gave me the third option
 
@murgatroid99 I think the word that's being looked for is, "vassal"
 
I almost thought you said "googlade"

@Wipqozn sorry, I was out last week. (should really feature-request vacation responders for chat :)) if I'm not mistaken, that whole thing got handled, though, right?
 
@AnnaLear Indeed it did! The wonderful Miss Note was nice enough to handle it.
 
Excellent.
 
@GraceNote That sounds about right.

Q: Castle Code Super Mario 64 DS

user237104I am looking for an action replay code to make the castle have a wario icon where peach is usually. P.S. I am using Super Mario 64 DS version 1.1

What's our stance on, "I want a code that does X" again?
Too broad?
 
Hmm, it seems that the greenlight page and Humble store haven't caught on that Hammerwatch has released, do you think the current humble store price will stand for very long?
 
@fbueckert I don't know what your overall site policy is, but "too broad" doesn't seem to make much sense.
 
@fbueckert ?
 
@AnnaLear When it comes to memory editing, too broad makes perfect sense.
 
It's not a rec.
 
3:59 PM
Maybe not broad enough
