Q: Announcement: new mobile ads

David FullertonWe wanted to let you know that we are currently testing some new ads on the mobile version of Travel. They are shown in two places right now: the bottom of the home page, and the question page (between the first and second answers, as on Stack Overflow). Right now you'll only see them if: You'r...

Eeeeeenteresting.
 
More people should be playing PAYDAY right now
 
Too busy sacrificing turtles to cat gods.

Q: Awesome seeds for minecraft pe

Jimmy TurnerWhat's some of the best seeds in minecraft pocket edition? I need some great seeds to help me out ? I have some but they just don't work I've tryed many they just won't work , help?

 
Whens the next version of that fangled minecrafts game come out?
 
12:14 AM
Didn't we do a whole thing about starring this so that it wouldn't get repeated? That was a thing, right?
Thanks for looking out for me, though, @LessPop
 
5 hours ago, by StrixVaria
@FEichinger It's not on the stars list so blame yourselves.
 
I'm excited, since this means I might get to play Saints Row 4
 
Sorry, I was out working all day
 
Hence why I hoped we still had it starred.
 
12:17 AM
Steam Software (i.e., the not-games part) can have achievements?!
 
Oh, right, it's because we had the whole passive-aggressive starring of topicality debates happening. Got pushed off.
 
@RavenDreamer They have achievements on watching video, I hear.
 
@GraceNote I feel compelled to extract some commiseration from you; 3d collision resolution is a pain.
 
@RavenDreamer This is largely why none of my projects are 3D.
 
12:21 AM
@GraceNote To be quite honest, the project I'm working on probably doesn't even need it. But once started, I tend to push myself to solve a problem until I do.
Or burn out. One of the two.
 
Gah. Vandalism edits.
 
@GraceNote Unrelatedly, do you play Tales games?
 
Not yet.
 
I know you like SOME JRPGs,
but dunno if you've dabbled in Namco titles.
 
I probably would love the Tales series.
 
12:23 AM
Lack the proper consoles?
 
It's mostly been a matter of not being around for many releases and also being in a wrong console fiasco in terms of... uh... which was it...
At any rate I've got the wrong regionalities for the wrong consoles.
 
Maybe half of them never made it Stateside anyway.
Heh. I just don't import. No issues, then!
 
JP 360 and EN PS3 when the EN release is on 360 and the newfangled JP super edition is PS3.
 
@Sterno I was thinking the same thing when we were playing.
Works out though, those other people would just hold us back!
 
(nods)
Also, I think Gamecube controller is best controller.
 
12:26 AM
Vesperia. That's the one.
 
Well, I recently picked up Tales of Xillia, which just got an EN release this month.
Er. Last Month, now.
 
Been considering the newest one but between Dragon's Crown and a few other things, just not a priority for me.
 
I see. I see.
It's pretty nifty. But this is the part where I complain about the playstation controller again! The ergonomics are all wrong.
Maybe I just have giant hands.
 
@RavenDreamer I don't really have a problem with the PS3 controller, but I have small palms and long, spindly fingers.
Like Jack Skellington.
 
Speaking of JRPG:
I am over the moon for this trailer.
 
12:29 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't we discuss this yesterday?
I don't think you were the one who posted it though.
Yeah, I really liked the narration in that trailer.
 
@StrixVaria Good/bad?
@Yuki I was.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oooh. Me too. That looks amazing.
 
yesterday, by Michael Dunfield
Also have any of you heard of this game? http://www.polygon.com/2013/9/10/4702940/child-of-light-was-designed-so-parents-can-play-together-with-children
 
@Yuki I definitely posted it yesterday afternoon. Linking it again because it was relevant to the last few minutes of conversation.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Just making sure we actually talked about it. My memory's spotty at best and I tend to imagine conversations about random things.
 
12:34 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Relevant and useful, as I missed the one from yesterday. I still haven't looked at it as I'm still busy, but I've noted it for future review.
 
I can't count how many times I've had deja vu over a current conversation about a topic that didn't even exist until that day.
 
@MichaelDunfield Decent.
I've been in more of a prog rock mood recently.
Than the really heavy stuff.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...huh.
 
@RavenDreamer Quite a left turn from Farcry 3.
Also massive massive props to Ubi for making a game (A self-described JRPG even!) with a young female protagonist who is 1000% non-sexualized.
 
12:37 AM
gah, 48 MB update to Don't Starve?
 
@MichaelDunfield I haven't played that forever....
 
I haven't played it yet
was planning to tonight...
Guess not
 
Ooooh, boy. Fun in Math room again.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Even more points with the article that says the creative direction was for a game that parents can play with their kids.
 
12:43 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've never watched Breaking Bad.
I... don't really watch a lot of TV.
 
user20683
nor I but I rarely watch TV either
 
user20683
basically Doctor Who and Game of Thrones and that's it
 
I still have to play hotline miami too
 
And the only TV I watch is, invariably, the kind that makes me laugh. Like Psych.
 
kbhesvblns.
 
12:44 AM
Psych, Doctor Who, and... nothing else comes to mind.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That is awesome
 
Orphan Black. Top Gear. The Big Bang Theory. Gilligan's Island.
 
Oh, gosh darn it. Just realized why my physics code is jittering.
 
Oh yeah, I watch some Sherlock too.
 
> Welcome to Myspace. Sign in to listen to music.
 
12:45 AM
But how to fix it... Hm.
 
I watch Psych, Doctor Who, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Sherlock
 
Nope.
 
@SaintWacko I love you.
 
@Yuki :D
 
@StrixVaria Really?
 
12:46 AM
@SaintWacko Is warehouse 13 back!?
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
 
I didn't put up Eureka and Warehouse 13 since I figured they were over. Or at least Eureka was.
 
@RavenDreamer I watch them on Netflix
I'm behind
 
@MichaelDunfield Just train yourself to say "Flipper".
 
Yeah, Eureka is over
I think Warehouse 13 is still going, though
I loved the ending of Eureka
That was really cool
 
@SaintWacko I'm just amused at the number of old star trek actors who star on that show.
Also, Kaylee and Simon appear as a dating couple living in new york.
 
12:47 AM
@SaintWacko The Christmas episode or the series finale?
 
@Yuki The series finale
 
Burn Notice is finally gonna end, too
 
How the end mirrors the beginning
 
@SaintWacko Oh yeah, I loved that tie-in.
"We'll... we'll deal with it tomorrow."
Or something like that. Paraphrasing.
 
@Yuki It wasn't quite right, but close
My sister and I went back and watched the first episode, and it's a bit different
 
12:48 AM
Paraphrasing, in this case, does not mean "Suck it please, Gus".
 
vehicles are different
Has Psych started up again?
The last season ended on such a cliffhanger
 
@SaintWacko I think the new season is out, but not on Netflix.
 
@Yuki To BitTorrent!
Oh, so are there any other shows you watch/have watched other than the ones I mentioned?
Our tastes seem to be similar
Although I am working my way through Star Trek right now
And I spent about a week at work watching the IT crowd
Not my normal fare, but I needed something light to watch while I was coding

Q: Recruit-A-Friend XP bonus question

NS.X.According to Recruit A Friend Basics While adventuring with your linked friend or family member, you will each gain triple experience while partied up to level 80, as long as your characters are within 4 levels of each other. However I couldn't find enough information to answer the followin...

 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...Why?
America is so dumb...
 
@Wipqozn I'm playing public games and enjoying watching people ragequit
 
@MichaelDunfield Because, ain't no gummint gonna take my guns!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Freakin' Deep South....
 
user20683
@Yuki Missouri isn't Deep South
 
12:59 AM
Isn't St. Louis already the most dangerous city in the country?
 
@WorldEngineer Well, someone needs to tell my old Geography teacher different.
 
Over Camden.
 
user20683
Deep South is Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
 
@WorldEngineer and NC because why not
:) also hi
 
@StrixVaria East St. Louis is up there, but that's in Illinois.
I don't think it's the most dangerous though. Pretty sure Detroit has reclaimed that crown.
 
user20683
1:01 AM
@spugsley because Appalachia
 
YES!
 
@WorldEngineer You're missing Arkansas, but yes.
 
user20683
Arkansas is kind of, same as Tennessee or NC
 
@WorldEngineer Arkansas is much more so than TN or NC, in my experience.
 
Yeah Detroit is scary.
 
1:17 AM
Jul 19 at 0:16, by Ullallulloo
@Wipqozn It has the highest aggravated assault rate; second highest violent crime, murder, and vehicle theft rates; and it has the highest burglary rate outside Ohio.
Quoting something is hard on mobile
 
Who says Bike Share bikes are clumsy and utilitarian?
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz this is true

Q: Move hours played back to where it was

BatophobiaIn the new update, they moved "Hours played" and "Last played" stats to the right column in the Library Detail View. Is there a way I can move it back to where it was? To help illustrate, here is a picture: I am wanting to take the states in the RED box and move them back where they were (GR...

 
@Lazers I'm guessing this isn't really possible.
 
@MichaelDunfield Not sure. Library is slightly different than the other content pages.
 
@FEichinger I don't recall seeing any customization options in Steam though.
 
There might be a skin that does it
 
@MichaelDunfield Doesn't mean you couldn't code one. Not sure how much is possible there, though.
 
1:45 AM
@FEichinger Ew, work.
 
@MichaelDunfield That's kinda what questions are for, you know ... Asking about complicated stuff people with a lot of experience can answer with a bit of effort.
 
I know, I was joking.

A: How do I unlock the hidden/secret vehicles?

Michael DunfieldThere are two vehicles which cannot be unlocked just by playing the game: Core Drone "Intimidator" Knight Cycle However, if you do some jiggering with the game files, you can enable them both for use in the game, and have them show up in the list of vehicles. If you'd like to do this...

That was a lot of work
Which I had already done but still
I should look for some steam skins
hey you know what would be cool
an official arqade steam skin
 
@MichaelDunfield Indeed. Now get to work on it.
 
SWEATYYYYYYYYYY
will I ever stop hating exercise?
 
@FEichinger It probably wouldn't look great if I did it.
I could try though.
I bet it's complicated to make them.
You probably need to do coding
 
1:51 AM
@spugsley Thank you, that was exactly the image I needed, just as I was about to leave. o.ô
 
like CSS and stuff
 
@FEichinger .....good or bad....?
OKAY
I'll stop!
 
@spugsley YOU DECIDE
 
OMG WAT
 
EPICRAPBATTLESOFHISTORY
 
1:52 AM
@spugsley I'll leave that one up to you. o.o
 
O_O
 
WHO WON
WHO'S NEXT
Nevermind... you don't get it. =[
Metro for Steam looks pretty nice.
 
user20683
@MichaelDunfield Me, I am next. Summons Chthonic Monstrosity
 
2:15 AM
But how well can it rap?
 
Finally. Home.
 
user20683
@ToxicFrog not well, it sounds more like a theremin set to "Black Hole".
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd love to.
 
@MichaelDunfield Garbage.
 
2:20 AM
@WorldEngineer then it's not going to do very well at Epic Rap Battles, is it?
 
user20683
@Fluttershy Entanglements?
 
user20683
@ToxicFrog It'll just eat the contestants

Q: Why should i choose faith?

FredFaith provides many bonuses. It can basically help any type of victory (except domination). If it can help almost every civilisation on its victory, why did they had such a mechanic ? If I want cultural victory, I'll get culture building and build defences for protection. If I seek scientific, I...

 
@WorldEngineer Just can't afford it.
 
user20683
@Fluttershy ah, yeah
 
2:24 AM
@Lazers Why, yes, because every mechanic has to directly affect a victory.

user20683
working on that myself, the GTFO of the Georgia
 
user20683
or at least getting a job that lets me take planes places
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Like here, perhaps? :)
 
user15026
Also omg D&D was AWESOME tonight
 
user20683
entirely possible
 
user15026
2:24 AM
I killed a guy, and used his head to kill another guy
 
user15026
(because I had the foresight to tuck his head by the hair into my belt)
 
user20683
the question is, why should I visit the land of Disease and Maple Syrup?
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer ....because I am pretty?
5
 
user20683
there is that
 
user15026
and....no, thats really all I got
 
user20683
2:26 AM
I can't say that even I, stoic, as I may be could resist your charms
 
@WorldEngineer For what it's worth I have been here for a week now and am not yet sick.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hurray I am glad you are not sick this time so far
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz and now the Montreal Colon Worm will find you
 
user20683
:p
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you in the French part of Canada?
 
2:27 AM
@AshleyNunn Less than 72 hours until Zwanze Day!
@StrixVaria Yes I am.
So much french.
Overwhelmingly french.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Shush you I am the MOST jealous me
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz Zwanze?
 
user20683
enlighten please
 
@StrixVaria It isn't so bad. People speak english fine mostly, the hard part is more signs and such
 
user15026
2:28 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz No trouble with your being all in English?
 
I just played Diablo 3 on PC for the first time since 1.04. Inferno is so easy now. :(
 
@Sterno Turn up the MP.
 
@AshleyNunn Not really, no.
 
@Sterno Crank up that MP
 
2:29 AM
Old Inferno feels like it's around 5-6.
 
It's funny, roughly half of people just catch on and switch quickly.
Another 25%, it's kind of hilarious, you see this huge look of relief on their faces "OH YOU SPEAK ENGLISH, GOOD I DON'T HAVE TO KEEP SPEAKING IN FRENCH"
and the other 25% will switch to English but glare at me.
 
user15026
Yeah, that is about my experience with Montreal as well :P
 
but it's funny whenever I find a fellow anglophone, because even if the first thing they say to me is in french, there's this look of recognition as soon as I respond in English or with a terribly mis-accented 'Bonjour'.
 
The first person I spoke to in Germany was a taxi driver. I told him where I wanted to go in German. He responded, "Uh, sorry. Do you speak English?"
2
 
the best was a construction worker who walked up to me today while I was waiting for a crane to move, he said something in French, I frowned and started to say "sorry" and he cut me off and said "thank god you're English. Okay, so..." and he repeated his question.
 
2:31 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Bwahahahahahaha
 
I'm in a PAYDAY game with "Literally Hitler" and "Creepy Old Guy"
 
@Sterno Why doesn't this surprise me?
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Beautiful
 
@Sterno Tell Mark Trapp I said hi.
 
2:55 AM
Well apparently camera mechanics are totally different in PAYDAY 2. Good to know.
 
Morning, guys...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This is exactly what I was thinking

3:08 AM
So, I was told by my boss to "forget to clock out" today.
 
user20683
@Fluttershy O_o
 
@WorldEngineer Basically, what it boils down to is this: There's a high likelihood that I will be working over the maximum 84 hours this week. But it will be off the clock. Those hours will then be returned to me in the form of going home early and using them to fill the gap.
 
user20683
ah
 
user20683
so more or less "deferred overtime"
 
@WorldEngineer Basically!
And with that said, I must sleep, as I have another 12-15 hour day tomorrow! Goodnight, Bridge.
 
3:12 AM
@Fluttershy That sounds awfully illegal.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy .....interesting.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Probably! But I need the money. I also need my feet to fall off so I can get them replaced with awesome, pain-resistant feet. But... what can ya do?
Anywho... G'night for realsies!
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That sounds super unfun
 
Bluuurgh. So many sore muscles.
 
user15026
3:26 AM
@Brant I read this the first time as "cheetos" and was confused
 
user20683
@Brant This website is poorly designed and reminds me of the stupidest parts of Twitter.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, It'd be much easier to move the Vita TV to my bedroom than the whole PS4. Also, theoretically, you can do it over the internet too (it'll just be lower quality than local network)
@Fluttershy Yeah my payroll dept would be chopping off people's heads for suggesting somethging like that

Q: Is it possible to check the log before a crash?

polemonIn Kerbal Space Program you get a "Crash Log" after your rocket disintegrates. I'd like to see this log, before my spacecraft actually crashed. I can see the debug console by pressing Alt + F2. But that's not what I really need. Is it even possible to get the "Flight Log" as I like to call it?

 
4:30 AM
 
4:49 AM
 
@spyder Somehow, I was expecting battlefield-like plane-hopping shenanigans. I was disappointed. Points for flying out of the dust-cloud under the wing though.
 
@TrentHawkins IL-2 much much more realistic and difficult in terms of flight model than BF

Q: Is my elemental shield bugged?

LOL. NO.I use the Transformer with the Thunderball Fists for the "electricity resistance". Sometimes I'll kill an enemy and run in as the secondary explosion to recharge my shield. However, when I do this, I've noticed that in exchange for completely replenishing my shield, my current HP will decrease. ...

 
> It shows dedication, and that you don't just give up on things. It would actually look good on a job resume.
Bahaha
That site has got to be a joke
 
6:24 AM
@grace @grace steam library sha---
oh.
still yay.
 
@badp Except not because it sounds terrible. :P
 
6:42 AM
@tim It seems good enough for Grace, which makes me happy.
at least from what I can see from the transcript
 
7:21 AM
@SaintWacko I seriously hope for him that it's a joke because otherwise he's in for a big surprise.
 
@SaintWacko Talk about delusional
 
@5pike It mostly shows your employer that you are one of those weird stigmatized gamer persons who shoot people or some other bullshit.
 
@Arperum I'd say it shows that one is an idiot
 
7:46 AM
> Do you play video games Bboy360?
> That last sentence is music to my ears. This is when you know you they'll be looking up to you for the rest of the night
this site is brilliant
> 'Brewer' asks 'What happens if you're cheevo talking at a bar, club or party and someone says they have more cheevos that you?'
> Well, hopefully they are just hating and are lying. First look up their score with your cellphone, make sure you have a page bookmarked where you can check. If you catch them in a lie, you look even better.
> If they are telling the truth and have more Cheevos than you, leave. Nothing else you can do. Buy the person a drink and leave, unless you're willing to look 2nd best. If you brought a date, odds are she's going to be impressed with the higher gamer score and ditch you. Get out as soon as you can and go to some other party.
This must've been written by Evan Carrol's evil twin.
 
I hope that this site exists just to troll people
 
@5pike If that ever get's linked to a real person... ANY boss would see that as a bad point.
If they like gaming they'd think you're stupid, if they didn't they would still think you're stupid.
 
@Arperum It probably looks better than not listing any interest or hobby, if they specifically asked for that.
Although that's more likely to come up as a closing/opening interview question.
 
@badp Then I would just make one up
 
@5pike boo.
 
7:59 AM
@Arperum exactly
 
@badp If I have to review someone for enrollment and I got that page linked to them that would be a no.
 
@Arperum Well of course you say no to that page.
 
@badp They might be the best person for the job ever. You made that page: you'll never get in.
 
The owner of this page seems to live in LA
 
@5pike They registered a domain. They can be traced back.
anyone can look up who owns a domain. Or at least for .be domains, I'm assuming it goes for the other domains too.
 
8:19 AM
@Arperum every domain has to have public WHOIS data
 
@5pike but that does not mean that every domain has correct WHOIS data
 
@KevinvanderVelden Indeed
 
8:33 AM
last time I updated my who is domain info it was 8+ years old and I had moved twice since then
 
yay
 
@kalina NO!
 
@Blem yay
 
@kalina ok, but only if you include a sloth, 2 bananas and some other fluffy animal
 
Hello @kalina & @Blem
 
8:40 AM
@5pike why are you awake?
oh
you're not who I thought you were
maybe I'm not awake yet
 
hmm
dilemma
 
Doctor Lollipop today!
 
@Blem I'm going full WTF is this shit based on the preview picture.
 
It is cartoon hangover, it is very messed up
 
8:50 AM
@kalina hi
 
@5pike Mornings
 
@kalina what you think about this laptop (4th model)?
 
@spyder o/
it's a laptop
 
@kalina in more details, please :) I am interested in your opinion about hardware
 
that was my opinion
 
8:53 AM
@spyder The Fn button is placed correct!
 
@Blem and backlight
 
@spyder Well, what do you plan to do with it?
 
Jeah microsoft! Thank you for protecting us from the danger of websites functioning while they have an underscore in their domain name! support.microsoft.com/kb/316112
WHY WOULD THEY DO SUCH A THING :| They block cookies if the domain contains characters that arent "-", "." or alphanumeric.
 
@KevinvanderVelden because they want to
 
@5pike games, programming, games, internet, games, films and series :) Oh, did I mention games?
