@Ullallulloo good guy nintendo, shows you which system the video is about, right in the preview image.

Q: Do friends' villagers retain their original furniture?

Jocelyn HuangI was wondering, if a villager from my town (who I have given furniture to replace their original set) moves to a friend's town, will he retain the furniture I have given him or reset back to what he had when he first moved into my town? Say, if Friga has royal furniture and my friend wants roya...

@MBraedley Blender?
 
@Weston.h No, non-linear video editing.
 
user20683
ah
 
12:30 AM
I'm a tad annoyed at the software I use because it doesn't let me lock a supplemental audio track (i.e. my commentary track) to the video track, AFAIK. It means if I speed up the video at any point, I have to realign the audio down the line.

12:48 AM
anyone want to play Saints Row IV co-op?
 
1:05 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz What'd it have last time?
 
@fluttershy a bunch of questions about how to dispose of a dead body.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's how a guy in my unit got caught. <_< He killed his wife and then a few weeks later started asking his co-workers how Dexter disposed of bodies...
 
user20683
My chrome isn't running on Windows so, no it can't.
 
@Fluttershy Watching a couple episodes answers that for you.
 
1:11 AM
@Fluttershy What.
No, don't actually elaborate.
 
user20683
I'm gonna second that. Bodily disposal outside of video games is generally off-topic even in chat.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz I like Night Vale so far but I have trouble listening to more than a few episodes at a stretch. Must be the strange, rhinestone encrusted helicopter over my house.
 
ughhh... was way too hot out at the lake today. And I had to cut the grass. x.x
 
I just got done watching the 2nd episode of Breaking Bad, where Jesse stupidly uses acid in the bathtub while disposing of a body, and come to this in chat.
 
1:23 AM
@Sterno I should keep watching that show.
 
I just started rewatching.
 
@StrixVaria You sure?
 
@Fluttershy I'm good.
 
@Westom Rhinestone encrusted you say? Are you sure that isn't Prince?
 
@StrixVaria I'm now buying this game just so I can beat you.
 
1:26 AM
@Sterno Do it. My friends leaderboard is barren.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz These rhinestones all howled with a sound that similar to a Chihuahua approximating dubstep.
 
So Alyx fell into the cloning machine...
 
@PrivatePansy 3 Alyxes. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
 
user20683
@PrivatePansy I don't hear anyone complaining.
 
user15026
1:28 AM
@Weston.h I am trying to figure out what that would sound like now
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn Roundly horrible.
 
One card drop left. I'll be laughing so hard if it's another Alyx
 
Anyway, assuming the probabilities for each card is the same, the chances of this happening is around 2 in 1000
 
@PrivatePansy Walking Dead only has 5 cards and in my 3 drops, I got all the same card.
 
1:31 AM
HL2 has 8, so this is slightly more improbable
 
@PrivatePansy There was a question about this. I think it was lesspop or gnome whose answer indicates that drop rates are not even. Based on the marketplace availability, it seems to strongly indicate that some common cards are more common than others.
 
@skovacs1 That was badp, I'm pretty sure.
 
@Ullallulloo Don't remember. Was so long ago. I'm digging it up.
 
He made a bunch of Google Spreadsheets and stuff which said there was like a 8% difference or something.
 
@StrixVaria Why would anyone want to come to this shithole country?
 
1:34 AM
@Sterno Glory to Arstotzka! Best country.
 
2
A: Are card drops equally likely?

badpThe short answer is: No, they are not. The long answer follows. First off, why pay attention to the Steam Market numbers? It's the closest approximation to the real thing we have, and while it is skewed in a way, we must make do with it. We can consider three kinds of users: Opportunists. Th...

 
@Ullallulloo Yeah. I had just found it before I got your ping.
 
@Sterno Because the others are... shittier?
 
@StrixVaria Oh Jesus, you have to memorize various cities and such?
 
@Sterno Yep.
 
1:40 AM
@Sterno I didn't really make a conscious effort to; it just came with time.
 
Cities and seals were the worst.
 
The worst is when a valid city appears on a passport with a country that doesn't match.
 
Divekick is the best and everyone should get it
 
@OrigamiRobot fighting game, isn't it?
 
user15026
I am debating picking Papers Please up when I have money again....eventually
 
1:46 AM
This game hates me.
 
@AshleyNunn I wish. My wishlist is hundreds. I really have little choice but to wait for the next sale.
 
@AshleyNunn Do.
 
I'm so bad at remembering what years games come out, but I'm pretty sure Papers Please is my choice for GOTY so far.
 
user15026
@FEichinger Considering I am working on making sure I pay my actual rent first it will be a bit, but yes, eventually :D
 
Damn you, terrorists.
Now my family will starve.
 
1:51 AM
Why do the 10 billion cookie upgrades only give 1%? 1% of 2.5 million/second is still only 25,000/second which is less than the 36,000/second the time machines that cost 3.5 billion cookies give. The curve on this is so steep!
 
user15026
@skovacs1 I stayed up waaaaay too late last night playin that.
 
@AshleyNunn You did see the updated version, yes?
 
user15026
@FEichinger I assume so but I might be wrong
 
13 hours ago, by FEichinger
Because I know @fredley loves to start over: http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/
 
@AshleyNunn Last night/this morning, they updated to version 1. They have since updated this afternoon to 1.01, but I'm sticking with 1 because 1.01 makes the curve even steeper.
 
user15026
1:53 AM
@skovacs1 ah, okay, I see
 
@skovacs1 The original curve was much steeper than the current one.
 
OH GOD HE HANDED ME AN ENTRY TICKET AFTER I STAMPED IT DECLINED
Can't take the stress. Must go watch more Breaking Bad instead.
 
@Sterno Sucks to be you.
 
@FEichinger It's awesome to be me.
 
@FEichinger Fair enough, but I'm only comparing 1 to 1.01.
 
user15026
1:55 AM
@Sterno I tried watching that show but like Weeds it just makes me want to like curl up and never come out of a blanket fort
 
It's about 25 minutes between time machine purchases right now.
 
@AshleyNunn Clearly you should watch Community then, where they curl up in a blanket fort for you.
 
user15026
@Sterno YES :D

@alexanderpas don't worry if the mods cared about fuck words, I'd be permanently banned :3

@spugsley I don't know. Maybe, after you yell HELLO at us?

and I'm pretty sure I can't freeze an entire city block on command, either.
 
@skovacs1 Yes, with two buttons
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. I'll pass. I vehemently loathe fighting games. I do own a few and play them on the very rare occasion only to remember why I hate them as I do. I just don't find them to be fun.
 
@skovacs1 I also hate fighting games.
This one only has two moves. Jump, and kick. If you get kicked, you're out.
 
@FEichinger Damn you, by the way.
 
2:32 AM
@Unionhawk ❤
 
@FEichinger This is worse than Candy Box
 
@Unionhawk You know, I just don't play it.
 
@OrigamiRobot so, fighing games feature jump-and-kick-man, while platformers feature jump-and-shoot-man....

@GnomeSlice Good luck finding it. Actually, isn't this js on html? Couldn't you just search the source?
 
I dunno, you try it.

@GnomeSlice I already found the cookieverse.
 
@alexanderpas Is it in there?
 
@GnomeSlice yup.

@alexanderpas what's inside it?
 
Okay, video's uploading (it ended up being a lot bigger than I thought it would), and it's scheduled to go live tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to bed.

Q: Attack coastal provinces with ships?

David HarknessI've just started my first game as the Ottomans, and my 10 regiment army is taking a long time to conquer Albania, so I sent some Light Ships, Galleys and Cogs over to help. They are in the sea next to the province, but I can't figure out how to have them support the siege or attack the one enemy...

does anyone know what happened to the user called kalina? they seem to have vanished from the site

Then conspiracy theories on the currently linked network account that I don't care to be involved in.
 
Wow, the canned air is so pressurised that it's causing water in the air to condense and freeze into frost where ever I spray the air

user58869
6:01 AM
@Unionhawk so kalina was a moderator and they were wrongly accused of abusing their power so they decided to delete their account?
 
no
 
@axrwkr No, she wasn't. It's complicated.
 
user58869
what happened?
 
kalina thought that moderators abused power so she asked for her account to be deleted
 
But like I said, there's more to it than that. I think. Or maybe it's 2'oclock and I shouldn't be thinking
 
6:16 AM
And... I'm back
 
user58869
well... I was looking at a question I had asked and usually I see the name kalina as an answer, but it was gone... I noticed that the person had made large contributions in the past. I'm quite surprised to see that their account has been deleted. I wonder if such a thing could have been avoided.
 
The computer is undamaged, and marginally cleaner

Q: Have Mario games ever made intentional references to drug use?

trav1sThe popular legend about the popular Mario games is that the powerups such as muchrooms make reference to recreational psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin "magic" mushrooms. The fantasy worlds and experiences that Mario explores also seem similar to drug-induced hallucinations. It may hav...

 
@GamingTopicsFromOutside sigh...
 
7:10 AM
@badp Yes, it is.
 
7:42 AM
Yay! The cost of time machines is finally high enough that the purchase of the next 3 upgrades is justified as having a larger impact on cps - now to wait for the next 10 billion to accumulate which my math tells me will take just under 1 hour. Guess I'll go do something for an hour.
Before I go though, has anyone here checked out core.konami.com?

Q: Portal first slice glitch

HarrythebraveOn level 11 I can't complete it because there is this glitched up thing that I can shoot portals in it but cant go through them. WTF is going on!!!

 
@Lazers Good catch on the similar possible dup @3ventic. If this one didn't say it was already on level 11 while the one you linked was still at the end of 10, I would've already vtc'd.
 
@skovacs1 There isn't much information to go on on the new question :x
 
@3ventic I know. It's not a great question.
 
@skovacs1 Also, "On level 11" could also mean that he got to the end of level 10 but can't get out from the elevator on 11's end, which is what the possible dupe was about
Hard to do anything but speculate without a picture from the asker..
 
7:56 AM
@3ventic Agreed. I'm just waiting to vtc this because I suspect you are correct, but as you say, cannot confirm.
 
Time to convert a website from mysql_ to mysqli_ in php... bah. This is going to take a while.
 
@3ventic I'm glad that didn't happen while I was active
 
@3ventic I did that not too long ago. It didn't take long at all as many of the functions share more or less the same signatures and are used in much the same way. It takes longer to change from procedural php to OO or to start putting in prepared statements to code that didn't use them.
 
@skovacs1 I'm converting from procedural to OO using a mysqli class I made for prepared statements
 
@3ventic :)
Am I to take it that nobody has used/seen core.konami.com?
 
user58869
8:08 AM
that page doesn't render properly
 
True that ^
 
Fair enough. Their whole account thing is kind of a mess. I'm just wondering about the expected way to contact support. I'm experiencing numerous issues with the site/account and submitted stuff to core.konami.com/feedback because that seemed to be what others had done to effect change as documented in core.konami.com/blog, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off creating a support ticket at us-support.konami.com/ics/support/ticketnewwizard.asp?style=classic

Q: Climb the ladder

axrwkrI'm playing in story mode. I have the digital deluxe edition and I have downloaded everything that comes with that. I've been stuck on this for a long time. When I first purchased mass effect 3 I played it at a fairly casual pace for a bit and worked my way through soaking up the story exploring...

 
8:50 AM
Ah well. I just submitted a ticket. Unlike their feedback page, at least the Konami customer support ticketing system tells me that they received my message and gives a clear point of reference for my issues. If it's not the correct point of contact, I'll just be wasting the time of their email support reps and they only really have themselves and their unclear support procedures to blame.
 
btw it's sunday :P
 
@badp It is. It's also 2 AM here.
MWAHAHA! I have 108 billion lifetime cookies collected!
 
@skovacs1 :o now there's none left for us!
 
@badp I've got 34/39 upgrades (soon to be 36/39), but the store only lists 3 more upgrades. I wonder what the criteria are for the last 2 upgrades to appear.
oddly enough I have exactly 666 buildings at the moment...
 
9:09 AM

It'll be another 40 minutes until I can afford the next upgrade. Back in a bit.

Q: How to pass the Battle of Xin Ye

shawnAre there any good strategies for this level, for beginners with minimum items and soldiers upgrades? I have tried different paths and using the 4 given soldiers, i.e., spearman, archer, witch, and crossbow.

 
Okay. The math in this game seems to be wrong. At least in version 1 which would explain why version 1.01 lowers my cps. I just bought another 1% output upgrade when my cps was about 3.2 million and it should have increased my output by 32,000, but since my output jumped to 3.44 million, either the description or the math is wrong.
 
A truck just did a three point turn in the carpark downstairs, which is quite a feat, given that they're not suppose to be there in the first place.

leetfanAfter doing 1 major mission, Codebreaker DLC Mission and several minor missions, as well as agent dispatches, I am not getting any missions any more. The Director is not in his Bureau, so I cannot talk to him and all other NPC have nothing new to say. As you can see, there are no more mission...

 
Well this is rather embarrassing. Someone emailed me asking me for my 'pricing', and I have no idea what to reply, because I've never done anything like this before

Is KSP suppose to be a graphically intensive game? Because by god the game seems slow on this computer
 
@PrivatePansy No, it's CPU intensive.
 
@PrivatePansy It's heavy on the CPU. Physics are run purely on the CPU and it's a mere 1.5 threads.
That is, there are some things that are decoupled from the main physics thread, but they are insignificant.

@GnomeSlice Because I haven't been praising Moon Hooch to the... well, the moon... in this chat for the past 6 months or anything.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Must have missed it, sorry.
 
But you weren't here, so I forgive you.
 
Oh, right.
Yeah, this is pretty sweet.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, they're from NYC, have you seen them around?
 
I, too, think Moon Hooch is awesome.
@GnomeSlice Also, saxophones are one of the most awesome instruments.
 
@Wipqozn Not to play.
 
2:01 PM
@GnomeSlice As in they are difficult to play?
That just makes them more awesome, since those who can play them are therefore more awesome.
 
I had a really bad experience with Saxophones in highschool.
 
That's a tad disturbing.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Also, are you familiar with Marvel Years?
 
@GnomeSlice For a second, I thought that had something to do with Comic Book Time©.
 
@Yawus No, sorry.

Q: Stop two allied city-states from war

Gerben JacobsI have two allied city-states that are at war with each other. How can I stop this? They should spare their troops because I'm probably about to get attacked by Washington..

 
Is that what usually happens when you make a big order?
 
2:19 PM
@PrivatePansy Did pick to ship them in as few shipments as possible?
 
@Ullallulloo Yeah, have to so that free shipping works
I guess it's "free" to ship items between Amazon's warehouses
 
@PrivatePansy Ah, then they wait for all the items to get to the same warehouse to ship it, which I guess is taking a while.
I don't think I've placed an order that big before though.
 
Amazon has free international shipping to some destinations for orders above $125
 
@PrivatePansy Basically, there is probably one item holding up the whole shipment
 
One book about programming, one about design, four graphics novels and one novel. The price is pretty good, though I'm not sure how I feel about buying them all at once
 
2:24 PM
@PrivatePansy comic or non-comig graphic novels?

@LessPop_MoreFizz okay, but having logged a lot of hours into SR3 and never finishing it, I don't think you'll really miss out on not playing the ending before playing SR4... it just isn't that relevant to SR4
it's a completely different game in most respects, and it cranks up the ridiculousness level to 18
 
@somequixotic When I say 'done with' I don't mean 100% completion or anything.
I just mean when I am sufficiently bored with it to want something new/more
 
heh
fortunately, becoming sufficiently bored with SR3 means that you will not be bored with a lot of the new mechanics in SR4... that said, there are certain aspects/parts of SR4 that are almost identical copy and paste from SR3, like the driving mechanics, taking hostages in vehicles, etc. that you may find boring
I haven't played SR3 in a very long time, so, owing to that, not even the "base" elements of SR4 that are based heavily on SR3 are boring to me, because I haven't played them in months
SR4 is basically SR3 with a ton of new mechanics built on top; but almost everything that's there in SR3 is present in SR4
it's a superset of the mechanics/functionality/features
 
SR4 was planned as a DLC of SR3.... but it got way out of hand and deserve its own title.
 
I like the variety. you can play it like a mortal (meaning, not using any superpowers) and it's close to SR3 but with different enemies, or you can play it like a completely different game using superpowers as much as possible
sometimes it's fun to walk around at normal speed and bump into people to steal their money, recruit some homies, etc
 
@somequixotic and 3 seconds later, you jump over the house that was standing in your path.
 
2:44 PM
or, you know, the skyscraper... same difference
it feels like they either amped up the guns or made the upgrades more powerful, too -- I'm using a semi-automatic shotgun that's nearly fully upgraded, and it's just as powerful or more powerful than punching things in the face with upgraded superhero melee
 
@somequixotic penthouse ;)
 
13 shot clip, full auto upgrade, max damage upgrade, max effective range upgrade, almost max reload speed upgrade... and it can take down a gunship with 5 or 6 shots, and even "snipe" headshot the pilot of a Xor (hover/jet bike)
something tickles my funny bone about being able to headshot someone on a flying vehicle with a shotgun at significant range
shotguns don't do that... in the normal world
or even in most games
 
3:22 PM
that Isaac buildup and fight.

Q: Infinite Stone Source in Minecraft

DragonessHow can I make an infinite stone source using water and lava? I'm in a jungle biome living in a tree house. I don't have enough space do dig a mine shaft and don't have the wool to make a bed if I die. I want to stay relatively close. I found lava and iron in a small pit nearby. Any ideas?

Q: Who is the main leader of SPQR?

DragonessIn Rome Total War what major military leader is the faction dominance for SPQR? If you assassinate all SPQR members can they crumble?

 
I shouldn't have been the only person scheduled today. D:

Q: Free Timsh in The Brigmore Witches?

NolonarIn The Knife of Dunwall, I decided to have Barrister Arnold Timsh arrested (the dastard had it coming). Now, I'm in Coldridge Prison and Timsh is asking me to get him out, telling me that this is the chance of my life. Although I'm financially self-sufficient, I guess a little extra coin couldn...

 
@fbueckert Om. Nom.
 
@Fluttershy Scheduled for?
 
@PrivatePansy Indefinite detention.
 
4:43 PM
Sounds like fun! Wonder why more people don't sign up for it

Q: diablo2 window mode using ubuntu script

k3vy w3vyI have Diablo 2 installed on one of my drives which I would like to run in Ubuntu, but I don't want to have to go through Terminal, every time, to start it up. I was trying to create a shell script that would just open it for me when I wanted to play it. This is what I came up with: #! /bin/bas...

 
5:18 PM
@PrivatePansy Work. I was the only one scheduled because we weren't supposed to be this busy. =\
 
user20683
@Fluttershy Don't you work in a grain silo?
 
@Weston.h An elevator, but yeah. We take, grade, and store grain to sell to the Gulf.
 
user20683
ah
 
Corn harvest started, which means every truck that comes in goes through 10-15 minutes of chemical testing, on top of the usual grade factors. With just me up here, it's taking about 20 minutes a truck, which is fine. But the timing of the trucks is awful, and it's making things unnecessarily hectic for just one me. =(
And I fell and wrenched my back and left knee, so it's making things doubly awful. x_x
 
@Fluttershy I believe in you!
And the power of your corn... trucks?
 
5:26 PM
They aren't mine! They belong to our customers.

Q: ThrottleStop for Ubuntu?

DizekeI was able to install and dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.04 (both x64) just a while ago. As a newbie in Ubuntu, I'm still searching for ways to install my games because I'm planning to make Ubuntu my main OS because it's like really cool and smooth and uses less resources. So, I was wondering...

 
user20683
@Fluttershy chemical testing? To make sure they're not contaminated or something?
 
@Fluttershy That's scary
Don't die
 
@Weston.h Pretty much, yeah.
Last year we saw corn that, if eaten, would kill a person.
Well... Could.
 
user20683
O_o
 
5:30 PM
Mmmm. My character sheet is packed too well. I have spot for one more thing, but I'm out of things to put!
 
user20683
@Fluttershy
 
@Weston.h is speechless.
 
@RavenDreamer D&D?
 
@RavenDreamer Give him Tourette's Syndrome.
 
5:45 PM
@Fluttershy No, my own tabletop system.
@GnomeSlice I'm working on the blank sheet, not a specific character
 
Make a spot for mental disability then.
So you can give him Tourette's Syndrome.
 
@RavenDreamer I could go suggesting a bunch of random stuff, but I'm not big on throwing everything at a wall to see what sticks. Some context like what kind of slots there are in the same category as the empty slot - something to give an idea of the sort of suggestions to throw out - would be useful. If the free slot could be movable, perhaps an idea of the contexts it could be moved into.
 
@skovacs1 Well, I figured it out already, thanks though! ahah.
 
Kevin Spacey agrees with me on how to help prevent film pirating! :3
 
Has anyone here played the PS2 title Rule of Rose? Apparently Atlus is doing a re-print and I'm not sure if I want to purchase it.
They're also reprinting Odin Sphere for those who don't have it yet...
 
5:56 PM
(cc: @BenBrocka and @GraceNote)
If it's an Atlus game, or just a bizarre JRPG, those two have either heard of it, or are interested. =P
