@MichaelDunfield People have talked about the death of Nintendo since the company was founded. It'll happen when it happens and I honestly feel that any article about it is a pitiful cry for attention.
 
@Yuki Read the article though.
I think he's actually right about a lot of things.
 
They're too stubborn to change their business plan just because of several articles.
 
Yeah. =[
 
@MichaelDunfield My point isn't that Nintendo is or is not dying. It's that no amount of whining, complaining, or anything will change anything because it's Nintendo. And people need to realize that.
 
@Yuki Yeah I know.
It's still interesting to read about it though.
Nintendo is always just going to do their own thing.

Q: Installing StarMade on the Surface Pro

ContextSwitchHere is StarMade: http://star-made.org/ and here is where I found my graphics driver update: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826 Im running Java (Version 7 Update 25). I'm having trouble running StarMade on the Surface pro. When I run it I get an error saying a JVM Cr...

 
@Fluttershy Risky click of the day.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Its feet are WEIRD
 
@AshleyNunn If by "weird" you mean "incredibly amazing and the best feet ever," I agree.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy hahaha I just..how does it walk
 
2:34 AM
@AshleyNunn With its feet.
 
user15026
@Yuki Thank you for that :P
 
In any case, those feet look like they're designed more for traversing wetland or marsh areas.
 
@AshleyNunn Well... I think it's technically considered a waterfowl, but I'm not entirely sure. <_< It spends more time in water than on land, or something.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Fair enough :)
 
The wide toes would let it keep atop the ground underwater, which would be much harder for other birds.
Am I right?
 
2:40 AM
@MichaelDunfield I'm unconvinced about a lot of the points that this article is making.
 
No idea! I know very little about it other than it is awesome. I love the contrast in the jet black feathers compared to the snow white beak. And it has blood-red eyes. It is the coolest looking bird I've ever seen.
 
I think they drastically underplayed the success of the Wii in an attempt to add strength to their other points.
these sorts of articles are getting really popular lately, where they seem to imply that Nintendo should start making games for the iOS
 
user15026
@Fluttershy It is pretty fascinating
 
user15026
@Mana Yeah, a lot of people are just like OMG NINTENDO MAKE IOS GAMES
 
user15026
and I think they are starting to just like....form facts around the desire for IOS
 
2:44 AM
but like...it's neglecting the fact that smartphones really aren't the best platform for gaming. they're actually a really mediocre platform for gaming.
the reason why gaming on them is popular is a matter of convenience, not because of the experience. I mean there's no tactile feedback on the things, and a lot of the interaction is just spotty for most types of games.
 
user15026
Yeah, they really arent optimal, but since that is the only real competition, people assume that that is where nintendo needs to go and that is a terrible assumption

Q: Where can I get Shanghai news?

user54150I know there are some good newspapers have good introduce about the life in Shanghai,but I want to know some websites that can help me to get information about Shanghai.Can you introduce me some if it?

@Mana Can you please do something about that user? That's like... the 5th Shanghai question they've posted, I think. x_x
Oh. It looks like that account was deleted. Still... pretty sure it's the same person. grumblegrumble
<3
Normally I would just flag and wait, but you were here and active, so I figured no harm in pinging. <_<
 
target eliminated. you're nothing but targets to me.
one down...50000 left to go...
stalks off
 
Worst case scenario; Nintendo stops making hardware and develops for other platforms... but iOS? What (sane) Nintendo fan wants them to develop on THAT?!

wakurthI purchase Diablo 3 for PS3 as a pre-order download. I don't own any any other copies of D3 on any other platforms. I would like to post comment on the D3 forums, but it states: "you need a character (created in-game) to post on the forums." on the create topic button. I've looked for a game key ...

Q: How canI get premium version of cards in Hearthstone?

Patrick BardFirst time I saw a premium card I thought that it was like that because it was a Legendary card. Like this: But I discover that Legendary Cards have "normal" version: I thought that maybe it could be explained cause the game is in BETA.

PteromysI am playing Nethack as a lawful female human valkyrie. I went down straight to Minetown, which was fount to be of Grotto type, with my feline friend. From reading a spoiler I know where the staircase further down into the dungeon is located. The problem is that the door to the room it is in i...

HI CHAT
I has a new toy.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz HI
I'M WRITING JUST FYI
 
@AshleyNunn shiny new toy with four wheels and lots of lenses that I am driving to montreal atm.
@spugsley GOOD.
@AshleyNunn Lunch tomorrow?
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Very nice.
 
I should be passing through your area mid-dayish.
I'm in Flint, MI now, which is about ~4 hours away, depending on border crossing speed.
 
user15026
4:17 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I work at 2pm, but as long as I get to work, sure! :)
 
@AshleyNunn dm me a phone number I can text or whatever, and figure out a place that we can meet up where I can easily park a car and I'll toss you a text if I make it to your area in time.
It depends on how much/if I get stuck at the border.
 
user15026
Okay :)
 
user15026
Re: parking - do you need a free lot or will a pay lot be okay?
 
@AshleyNunn need outdoor. Meter is fine if it's abundant/easy, but I can't deal w/ garages
(mainly because I don't know height clearance on the new vehicle because it is a new model of car.)
 
user15026
4:21 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz The lot I am thinking of is open air, but still pay for use
 
@AshleyNunn yeah, that's fine.
so long as I don't have to 1) worry about height, or 2) let somebody else park it for me.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Nope, its just an open parking lot :)
 
user15026
you park wherever, pay at the meter, put the slip on your dash (dont be like me and stick it in your pocket >.<)
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, meters are nbd
 
user15026
Sweet :)
 
4:33 AM
I'm going to come to lunch too!

Q: Can I get my Dragon Priest masks back?

Q: Should I take "One Mind" if I want to continue to play?

OakThere's a strong warning associated with the "One Mind" upgrade that says that "it's all downhill from here". As I'm still interested in playing, should I take this upgrade or wait? Will appreciate spoiler-free answers if it's at all possible.

Q: Can I change the default movement speed when ordering a unit to move in a battle?

XenoxWhenever I'm in a tactical (land) battle and I order a unit to reposition itself somewhere the men eagerly start running there. As I usually don't want to tire the men at the start of a battle, I then have to manually click the movement speed button to have them walk to the new position instead...

 
that was better
 
8:33 AM
@Blem What's that site? A "does the world still exist?" site?
 
it says "Is it Thai?" and answers "Yes"
we get Thai food for lunch every other week
so Friday-Wednesday it says No, and every other thursday it says Yes and the other it says No - It is Indan

Q: which sounds are essential plaing Zerg?

rubo77I think it is really helpful to listen to the sounds to notice some important events like Larvae spawning Overlord hatches Queen is ready Are there certain sounds, that only occur, when a unit hatches? Or is it random?

 
@Blem china?
 
@5pike yea
2nd might be fake
 
@Blem yeah, the bad quality might disguise a shop

Q: Are there certain sounds that only occur when a unit is born? Or is it random?

rubo77I noticed, that a queen always makes the same sound, when it's born. Is it the same with all units?

I ate too much!
 
om nom nom nom
 
It was thai food, took a a lot of chicken with chilli and cashew nuts (and some vegetables)
 
@Blem nice
Remember: it always burns twice
 
yawn Morning folks.
 
@kalina hi!
 
10:23 AM
@spyder o/
 
@FEichinger and "hi" for you :)
 
he's not high
 
@kalina That is indeed true.
 
your loss
 
@kalina That is also true.
 
10:27 AM
I only have to wait one more month for Deus Ex: The Fall
 
@kalina That might be true as well. I wouldn't know, I'm not interested in it.
 
I downloaded World of Warcraft yesterday. Little boring but good game for an hour or two in the evening. Yes, I had never played WOW before.
 
run away while you can
 
@kalina Too late for that
 
@kalina wut?
 
10:28 AM
His/her soul is already lost
 
before you know it you'll be min-maxing to increase your dps by 1%, grinding random drops for professions and staying up all night wiping on panda bosses
and then you'll realise it has been a while since you last saw the sun
 
@5pike no, my soul is already lost in World of Tanks and Warhammer 40k :)
 
and that you're logging into a game to look after your farm at 4am just so that you have some free materials to make cooking from, for the buffs, for raiding
 
@kalina Not everyone is like you, dear.
 
I never logged in to check my farm at 4am
I did it at lunch time while I was at work
 
10:32 AM
2 days ago, by kalina
then one day at 4am I realised I was logging into a game to check on my farm
 
well, that was after I started playing it casually
 
@kalina "casually" ... Uh huh.
 
that's completely different to when I actually identified myself as a wow player
 
Doesn't make it any better.
 
10:34 AM
@5pike ahem
 
@kalina what
 
@kalina ha
 
@kalina you know nothing about 24/7 hardcore playing :) Try to learn how to take-off and landing on your beautiful F-15C Eagle, difference between FLOOD, HOJ and VISUAL, learn all parameters of your AIM-9, AIM-7, AIM-120, how to deal with superior MiGs... Try "Lock On"
 
I... wouldn't be caught dead playing a flight simulator
 
10:37 AM
Yeh, kalina strikes me more as the ground trooper with a flamethrower.
 
I've been given two days to do a particular task and I've already finished it
 
@kalina Good for you
 
what shall I do now
 
I bought this beauty:
 
Play something
 
10:40 AM
@spyder that's not all that much of a "beauty"
 
@kalina and you don't put in one sentence words "plane" or "aircraft" and "beautiful"?
 
nope, not normally
 
@kalina if you are into flight simulators, it is, I guess.
 
unless that sentence also contains "crash", "burn", "explosion"
like... "I saw a plane crash and burn, it exploded, there was fire everywhere, the tortured souls of the people on board were screaming for mercy, it was beautiful"
no?
 
10:45 AM
oh no, a huge shark made of water is chasing a plane
 
@kalina You're trying too hard, @Sterno.
 
so what did I miss with young guilo last night?
was it fun?
 
@kalina tl;dr: Scoots didn't stop going on about him, he entered the chat, both had a pit fight and everyone was mad.
So, for you, it would probably be called 'fun'.
 
more details perhaps?
 
Ooh, starts reading chatlog
 
10:47 AM
You're gonna have to read what remains of the transcript.
I don't want to bring the topic up yet again.
 
yeah I figured, but there is probably large chunks missing
so I cba
I will just wait for one of them to arrive and bring it back up directly with them
nothing like stirring a bit of trouble
 
@kalina Please, for the love of god, don't.
 
be nice @FEichinger, you have to remember @kalina gets off on this kinds of drama! ;)
 
Yeh, I'm not gonna reply to that. Not gonna happen.
 
10:51 AM
ok, then why did gnome change his name?
 
what is his name now?
 
Michael Dunfield
 
interesting
 
Guess it is his real name
 
yesterday, by GnomeSlice
I'm going to start being an adult.
 
10:52 AM
yeah
@FEichinger cute
 
@kalina I'm not the only one who though that? Thank god.
 
I don't think a name change is going to suddenly add multiple filters between his brain and his mouth/fingers
to prevent the occasional onslaught of GnomeSlice that occurs seemingly at random
 
@kalina Do read the transcript there. It's beautiful.
Like, five minutes into the name change.
 
Director of Porn
...
 
@kalina WUT?
 
10:55 AM
Told'ya. Beautiful.
 
:D
I kinda agree with him, if your new boss cant live with the things I have done in the past there is a good chance that I wont like working at that place
 
@Blem Sure. But he isn't exactly in a position to afford to take those chances.
 
true
This was my FB profile picture when I started working at Nokia, my boss got asked if he had seen my FB profile before hiring me.
 
I suggest boasting about it at every possible opportunity

@Lazers So many inappropriate answers ...
So hard to resist ...
 
@FEichinger that's (not at all) what comments were invented for.
 
I feel like I am melting today
 
@kalina Would you be mad if I made a Wizard of Oz reference?
 
if you made a wizard of oz reference, I'd probably not get it
 
11:23 AM
@kalina Why, is it over 10°C?
 
@MartinSojka over 25°C but it's weirdly humid in this part of the office
 
@kalina It was boring. Even I, who love drama, thought it was dumb.
 
@kalina It's about the same in Florida.
 
@Sterno understood, master
 
@Scootaloo he's 67
 
@Scootaloo It is a mystery that requires casual investigation to discover.
Two clicks. Maybe even one.
 
SIXTY SEVEN
 
@Sterno Two.
 
35? pssh
That's not old at all.
 
11:27 AM
SIXTY SEVEN
 
I am 431 times @kalina's age.
 
Well I guess when most people are in their 20's it does make you seem older.
 
I will be in a moment.
 
@kalina You are 2?
 
inb4
 
11:29 AM
@kalina I DON'T CARE. THERE'S AN EDIT HISTORY.
 
Boo. It won't let me choose a year before 1920 as my birthday.
SE is age-ist!
 
you are 8620?
@FEichinger nope, lies, slander
 
@kalina Your face is lies and slander!
 
@FEichinger how rude
 
Any reason why people seem to have a vendetta with Adobe Air?
 
11:29 AM
it's made by adobe
 
@kalina I know. :( You pushed me too far.
@Scootaloo A lot of reasons.
Adobe is notoriously bad at maintaining software, for one.
 
I've been seeing quite a few threads on LoL about how terrible LoL's launcher is. Aside from an annoying bug where my friends list always collapses down it works fine for me.
@FEichinger Still, I don't know why Riot bothers with them if that's the case. They have more than enough money to make their own I'm sure.
 
@Scootaloo Money? Sure. Dedication to something rather minor like the launcher? Not so much. It's also always nice to be able to blame someone else for a bug.
 
@FEichinger So you think they intentionally keep it around to have something wrong with it so they can say it's Adboe's fault? seems kind of stupid since everyone knows they've got the resources there to just make their own.
 
@Scootaloo That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is that switching to something else is not worth the effort (and the subsequent dedicated support) that would be necessary.
"Having the resources" is not a black and white thing. Just because they can afford to do it doesn't mean it's the best course of action.
 
11:36 AM
@FEichinger True.
 
11:46 AM
@Scootaloo The same problems people have with Flash, basically. It's little more than a stand-alone Flash player. It can do a few things Flash can't (access your local files directly, for example), and can't do some other stuff (intercept right mouse clicks, which can be done with a bit of JavaScript + ApplicationInterface magic in Flash).

Q: Can a villager destroy my orchard?

YamikuronueLet's say my town fruit is pears, and I plant 3-4 orange trees in a cluster for ease of picking. Can a new villager pick that exact spot for his house and destroy my ability to get oranges? And if so, is there anything I can do to stop this? Does the answer change if it's perfect pear trees?

 
So this happened this morning in Singapore
 
Yay, water!
 
Yay, flood....oh wait
 
Looks like a really fun PE lesson
 
Spiderman class.
 
12:04 PM
@PrivatePansy How not do drown
 
@5pike Strangely enough we actually had that as one of our secondary school PE lessons
 
@5pike It looks more like "How to keep your shoes dry?"
 
@PrivatePansy I know this game!
 
The swimming module in PE has a part where you're suppose to take some pieces of clothing, tie them up and use them as floatation aid
 
@PrivatePansy Did you also learn how to rescue someone?
 
12:06 PM
Can't remember, but I think we may have done something like that
 
Wouldn't taking the same pieces of clothing (off), throwing them away so that they don't drag you down, then proceeding to float on the water face up work better in most circumstances?
 
@MartinSojka You are not supposed to take clothing off, because they keep you warmer
even if wet
 
@5pike We're talking about Singapore here ...
 
Ooops...
There's about 3000 lines of this. Stupid WordPress...
 
For most of Singaporean waters, I'd imagine your risk of developing skin cancer or getting ran over by a random motorboat or container ship are significantly higher than your risk of dying due to hypothermia ...
 
12:16 PM
@PrivatePansy Do you get to drive the truck when the streets are full of water?
 
@Blem The trucks are designed to ford water of depth up to 0.8m, so yes :P
 
I would like to try that :D
like driving in giant puddles
 
And then I accidentally close the tab while the import is still going on, and is left with half an imported site
*pulls hair*

12:53 PM
I just had a play on an xbone
It was pretty underwhelming
 
What'd you play?
 
Some fighting game
 
Where did you play it?
 
Campus Party
About to have another go
Game is killer instinct
The console is one chunky monkey
 
woo my new ssd arrived
 
12:57 PM
I was just looking at the list of PS4 launch title, and Minecraft is on it. Because nothing will show off the power of a next-gen console like Minecraft.
 
Minecraft will lag any system, so measuring the lag is a good metric
 
Man, this list looks pretty anemic.
 
@Sterno I'd be more impressed if they made Dwarf Fortress run on it without it melting the console after a few decades in fort mode ..
