Ahh, I've just finished moving into my Room above a Bookshop. The owner is more melancholy then Hamlet, but there are plenty of interesting customers.

Q: When is it a good time to switch between characters?

When is it best to switch? Is it up to your preference? Or is there a certain time that's best?

Q: Why does a Healer gain EXP then they don't kill an enemy

i've been wondering for some time now, every time my healer uses one of her spells she seems to gain exp, on occasion she'll level up because of it yet when i get one of my other characters to just attack and enemy they only gain exp when they kill it so why is my healer gaining exp when they do...

I HAVE RETURNED

HATE invisible enemies.

12:08 AM

Good news everyone! My PS3 works!

REJOICE FOR YOUR HERO HAS RETURNED

RUN AWAY, FOR THE ENEMY OF ALL MANKIND HAS RETURNED!

RUN AWAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaay

@fbueckert Because of how they attack or because they're annoying to fight without see-invisible? If it's the latter, there's a cute little trick to make it easier.

@GraceNote The latter. What cute trick what that happen to be?

Water (and by extension, any liquid) is visible on anything.

12:11 AM

@GraceNote And if they step in a puddle...?

Same effect.

So, basically, throw potions everywhere until it steps in one.

Q: What effects do resources have?

Looking through the online manual, I can't seem to find any data on the actual effects of resources (ex. wine, timber, etc). These resources are listed with special slots on the trade details widget. I imagine the effects might be similar to Civ 5's resources, but it's really unclear exactly wh...

Then go to town.

Ideally you hit them with the first throw, you can roughly pinpoint where they are from their attacks usually. They don't like to move much.

12:13 AM

@GraceNote Really? This one wouldn't stop moving.

Oh, they'll run away from you, but if you don't approach them it should be relatively still usually.

Invisible enemies are why I always carry beer on me.

groan Over a pound of steak for dinner.

On the plus side, I learned how to cook it perfectly.

Nice.

Funny enough, I also had steak for dinner, though decidedly less than a pound. Ultra delicious all the same.

The Best iOS 7 Ringtones, Reviewed.

> You are folding laundry in the laundry room of your modest suburban Colorado home. You are pleased with this zen task. A cool breeze fondles the lace curtains of your open window. The crisp midday air begs you to inhale fully, which you do, and this also pleases you. Suddenly, but without startle, a marble-worker’s firm hands delicately grab your waist. You are flush. You are dreaming. You decide not to wake up. You see where this goes.

Q: Why some matches in give 4,000 points while some give much less?

I don't understand how to get the maximum possible score. Making special candies doesn't seem the best strategy. Sometimes a sequence of matches in a single move seems to yield better results. But I didn't find in the internet any information about how the points works in this case

candy-crush-saga

@OrigamiRobot Eh? She should fix any of your attributes if they've been drained.

Do you have any mutations or diseases?

And what are those asterisks?

@GraceNote How do I know?

Nvm, I do.

Press F (or however you access Feats, which you can navswitch from the character sheet)

@OrigamiRobot I believe those mark stats that are being maintained by your equipment

Also, what does "maintain" mean?

Maintain means that enemies that cause stat drain (the type that the healer can fix, or that you can fix with potions of restore body/spirit) will not be able to drain that stat.

I assumed it was sommat.

I can't find anyone with cure disease potions. ANy suggestions?

What disease do you have at the moment?

...oh yeesh.

Casino is your best bet, if you have Casino Coins. Lemmeh see what streaks you want...

5+ win streak on a single coin bid should be enough to get a potion of cure corruption.

If you don't want to run to the casino to check your coins, m on the keyboard would bring up your materials list, it's usually on the first page.

None

Hm. Then there is one more option and now would be a good time because +20% to all weight of all items you hold is really bad. Do you have any "small medals"?

Those would be in your normal inventory, they're not a material. Always listed at the very end.

If you don't have any, don't worry. I know where some fixed locations are to get enough.

None

Mmkay. Where are you right now?

Palmia

12:59 AM

Okay, there are 12 we can get in Palmia. So, small medals can be found in a number of different ways, but one of them is that basically every town (and some other fixed places in certain dungeons) has one or more small medals hidden in them. You can find these by finding the spot they're located and Searching that spot. If you're searching and you're near the spot, you'll either "sense something", or "see something shine" if you're real close.

> From the bottom left corner of the map, 1 square right, 4 squares up.
On the east side of town, in the first of three small empty houses, the bottom right corner.
North of the two fountains, in the storeroom on the left.
In the SW pool of water, bottom right tile.
In the north pool of water, extreme NE tile.
In the room south of the throne room, extreme SE tile.
In front of the king's bed.
In the room north of the general goods vendor on the east side of town, near the east wall.
Outside the Arena Master's building, southeast of the two trees.

Uh oh, now my little girl is preggers.

I always carry paint in case of unwanted pregnancy. In a pinch, poison or acid will do, but those can hurt more.

@OrigamiRobot That seems to be a common problem on the Bridge.

NEWSFLASH: A rash of unwanted pregnancies strike the Bridge! Paint sales have skyrocketed. More news at 9.

@GraceNote How many do I need?

@OrigamiRobot I believe you'll need 10.

When you've got 10, let me know and I'll tell you where to bring them.

Q: Missing Vehicle

I've been progressing through the story playing with Franklin and had a customized Feltzer in my starting garage, but after I performed the first heist my car wasn't transported into the new safehouse. Any ideas as to where the car could be located? (I've already tried the local impound.)

Q: Minimizing the risk of losing save data when playing offline

I play several of my Steam games in Offline Mode on a regular occasion. However, none of the save data for these games is managed by the Steam Cloud. Now, I've been thinking about playing some Steam Cloud games offline (Payday 2, for example). What do I to minimize save data loss, preferably avoi...

@GraceNote K

Okay. On the world map, we're going to be looking to the faaar east (use * to look, or your equivalent on your gamepad). In the snow, but not nearly as deep as Noyel. There's a small house that's pretty much almost straight right from Palmia and the Embassy, might be a notch or two up. If it's night time, it'll have lights on so it'll be easy to spot, whereas if it's daytime, it'll just be pretty visible on its own right.

I believe there's a large lake on the east edge of the map, the house would be on the border of that lake.

Got it. Now how do I become blessed?

Oh, nevermind. If the potion is blessed it does more.

Blessed?

Oh, right. Yes. To do that, you'd need a potion of holy water.

Drink: Rids you of the two most recent symptoms of Ether Disease. When blessed, it cures you of the three most recent symptoms. If no Ether Disease is present, it does nothing. A cursed one will make the disease worse.

I read that wrong

I still have two diseases.

1:21 AM

It's understandable how you read it, given that syntax.

I need another one

To your luck, there's 3 medals in the workshop you're at, and there's 7 more in Lumiest which is nearby.

Too late. I starved to death.

...oh dear.

I'll give you the same advice I gave to frebucket for saving money while staying fed - the three-second rule is crock. Any food that's on the floor is yours for the eating. You can't grab food like stickbread off the floor in towns, but you can eat it right up there without causing a stir, not even needing to steal or anything.

'til you have a good income, safer to keep fed off of ground food and the occasional inn service (which always feeds you to bloated) than to spend money on the richer delights, if you aren't holding much. For non-perishable food items that you can keep on your person when travelling far, sandwiches and walnut breads sold by bakers are relatively cheap, if you buy only blessed ones you can save more money since they'll fill you up better.

Heh. Frebucket.

Q: How do you get past level World 3 level 4 in Braid?

I don't get it. I can't figure out how to beat the level.

@OrigamiRobot Noooo, we loooove you don't die!

@LessPop_MoreFizz OMG DIS BEER

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy hahahahahaha.

It is a veritable party in your mouth.

It's the highest %alcohol beer I've ever tasted. It kinda... burns... all the way down. But it tastes so good.

@GraceNote "Inn service?" Is that sleeping on a bed, or some other offering that I have not tried yet?

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:34 AM

@Fluttershy It's only, what, 8%?

@Coronus Innkeepers can be asked for 140 gold (constant price) to feed you.

LessPop_MoreFizz

8.5?

@LessPop_MoreFizz 9.5

LessPop_MoreFizz

Still, if 9.5 is burny...

@Fluttershy aah.

Don't ever get in to barrel aged stouts. :P

Pretty sure BCBS clocks in around 15%.

So delicious though.

Oh, I should talk to the innkeeper more, then. I basically ignored them and snuck into their rooms for a nap.

1:36 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't get me wrong. It's not something I dislike. It is delicious! But I have work in the morning. <_< I'm a little nervous.

@Lazers I'm wondering if he's thining about World 4, not world 3. World 3-4 is pretty straight forward. World 4-4 is really tricky.

The worlds start at 2-1. Last world is actually world 1, so a lot of people get the world numbers mixed up.

@Coronus They also sell cargos of traveler's food. Which also feeds very strongly and is portable, but the price increases over time (mine cost 564 per piece now) and they also attract bandits like... uh... food for mice.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy Just make sure to have a big glass of water after it before bed and you'll be fine. :P

@GraceNote The food attracts them?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Fluttershy The whole bottle is roughly equal to 3 pints of whatever normal beer. I mean, I know youre a lightweight, but I'm pretty sure even you can function the morning after 3 beers. :P

1:39 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I can! So... that's a good point.

@Coronus Cargo in general attracts them. Traveler's food is a cargo, which has the benefit of being weightless to you but the downside of being something bandits will want and will also take if you can't escape.

Also, @GraceNote my Elona Plus download didn't work. =(

It didn't work?

@GraceNote Nu. I downloaded the .zip file from the dropbox link, but when I go to open it, it gives me an error.

Huh. That's... ill to hear.

1:41 AM

It seems to be damaged. It's only downloading 28MB of the 33MB file.

That's weird.

Hmm... are you able to try again? I can try giving you a link.

> elonaplus1.28.zip appears malicious

@OrigamiRobot This lists all of the fixed small medal locations in North Tyris, might as well keep that handy so you can stock up. Ideally, you'll eventually start getting some Casino Coins in gather spots in dungeons, which will be a much cheaper means to get cure corruption potions, but until then, no harm in stocking up.

@Fluttershy Wow. Where's that from?

1:44 AM

@Coronus That wikiwiki.jp link.

Ok, let's try something. You on Steam now?

@Coronus Yus.

This is sad. o_o I just got my PS3 set up, a friend gifted me The Last of Us and Heavy Rain, and I have Uncharted 3, and the entire God of War series.... and I'm playing a damn roguelike.

@Fluttershy Sounds like... exactly what I'm doing.

I still haven't played much of The Last of Us.

A lot of early audio glitches kinda ruined it for me.

I didn't get any audio glitches

@BenBrocka I would have long periods with just no audio. I thought it was typical of the post-apocalyptic zombie thing, but then I turned on the subtitles.

1:50 AM

Oyah, I still need to finish my latest God of War...

might have been fixed in an update or something, never had that happen

I was still getting those glitches as late as a month or a month and a half ago.

Huh. It's a shame because it's a really outstanding game

Oh crap, it's late. Bye!

@Coronus oh were you the coronus at my stream? I thought that sounded familiar.,..

1:59 AM

I give up. I think I'm gonna start a new character.

Switching class/race or gonna just try with a better start and familiarity?

@GraceNote The latter

What's the deal with this page?

It's for a "profile background" thing that isn't translated and has no impact on the game itself.

Great, my starting bow is cursed

Who has Monster Hunter 3 U for Wii U that I don't have friended? Just got it

@BenBrocka Me

Monster Hunter

All Monster Hunter talk, all the time. Or, just about anythin...

Didn't know you had a wii u

2:21 AM

cc @fbueckert

Am I going to be hilariously incapable of playing with you guys without better gear?

@BenBrocka He bought it just for Monster Hunter. @StrixVaria has it too, but hasn't played in ages.

@BenBrocka you can't even take the quests we normally do, but we can take the quests you take.

@BenBrocka WE can help you get to where we are.

I'd suggest killing a few monsters offline first, to get the hang of the game.

yeah I'll play solo for a while to figure it out

2:22 AM

The first few hours offline are basically a tutorail + getting you feet wet with easy monsters.

I've never owned an MH game before just palyed some demo

can I play with the pro controller?

only tutorial is spelled correctly

@BenBrocka That's what I use.

@BenBrocka DoctorMegatron

Any reason to prefer the gamepad? I prefer the pro controller but Pikmin for instance gives just enough reason to prefer the gamepad

@BenBrocka You can put some of the HUD items on the gamepad screen Which I prefer.

2:27 AM

Do I pick a class or are my abilities determined by equipment?

@BenBrocka Equipment

You start off with one of each weapon

any particular type I should prefer to start with?

I wish the Wii U was as cheap as this PS3 I just got. =(

They're all really unique.

2:35 AM

@BenBrocka Anything but Bow

Bow is really weird.

I like bow.

2 hours to download so I wont' even be able to try it tonight

@StrixVaria Would you have liked it when you first started the game?

@OrigamiRobot No.

I don't like bow solo either.

That's all I'm saying.

2:36 AM

It's best in a group where other people distract the monsters.

@BenBrocka Bummer :(

It's also blocking my Toki Tori 2 download so I can't even play that while I wait

@StrixVaria What were you using before bow?

@OrigamiRobot Switch Axe and Sword+Shield

Ah

@BenBrocka I use Dual Swords. Really fast, but small damage per hit.

2:40 AM

@OrigamiRobot That sounds fun, as long as DR/whatever doesn't mean I deal zero damage to some bosses or something

@BenBrocka DR is percentage based.

Sharpness also matters, but @Wipqozn can explain that better

Okay cool

Q: GTA 5 garage help

I read on this site that you could save cars that got destroyed by parking them into a garage that you own that isn't part of your safe house. I just tried that with a Ford GT and it hasn't spawned inside the garage. I'm using Vinewood Garage as Michael. Is there anything you guys could help with?

Q: Do points revert faster if defenders stand on them?

If a team starts capturing a point but fails to get it converted, it starts reverting back to the team that owns it, making the attacking team lose their progress. If you stand on your point while it's reverting, it will say that that's what it's doing too. Does standing on them while it's revert...
