Q: Skyrim - Staggering giants with unrelenting force

For some reason I am not able to stagger giants while trying the first version of this shout. I hear the word and see the blue light that appears but nothing happens to my enemy. I tried this on Anise and it works but not on a giant. I should also mention that I havent gone to Hrothgar or Ivarste...

kalina

ah, Stack Exchange application, you never cease to catch me off guard with your vibrating

fredley

@kalina such ping

kalina

I wish my phone had a setting to customise the power and intensity of the vibrate setting

fredley

10:13 AM

@kalina Pretty sure if you root there are such things

@kalina play.google.com/store/apps/…

kalina

This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

fredley

@kalina Get a better device

kalina

...

I have the best device on the market at the moment

fredley

@kalina 'Best' is not a metric that makes sense in this context

'Most powerful', maybe

kalina

I made a terrible mistake and arrived at the office with a bag of doritos

2 hours later, I realise I've basically been sat here eating doritos for the entire time

fredley

10:18 AM

@kalina This is a mistake in what way?

kalina

because it was a large bag of doritos

fredley

@kalina ...and

kalina

...and it was ~8:30 when I stated eating them

...and I ate them plain, with no dips

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina aah, mistake explained

Also, lo chat!

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden 'lo

kalina

10:21 AM

...and now I feel full of doritos

fredley

@kalina I did not know this state existed

I always want another dorito

kalina

oh yeah, full of doritos is an actual state

just like overdosed on sour cream is also a state

fredley

@kalina ew sour cream

@kalina Dorito regret is a state, not wanting another dorito is not

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden When is that driving exam of yours? Or is it over already? I remember doing mine years ago at 7AM in the snow...

@KevinvanderVelden Also: Hey!

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum it is in ~2 and a half hours

Arperum

10:23 AM

@KevinvanderVelden Good luck!

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Wear a short skirt to maximise chances of passing driving test

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley that probably won't work

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden The instructor won't be thinking about your driving!

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden If the instructor can't see anything because he was laughing all the time...

Kevin van der Velden

Also I'd need to shave my legs and that's just a hassle

fredley

10:26 AM

@KevinvanderVelden Hairy legs are fine

Arperum

@fredley It needs to be hilarious, so go crazy :)

fredley

In fact, just go full drag. The idea is to occupy as much of the instructor's brain as possible with things that are not your driving

kalina

I passed my driving test by executing the "little black dress" manoeuvre

fredley

I passed my driving test with the 'keep trying until you can actually drive' tactic

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley this is my current tactic, I think it'll work this time!

Q: Add Gods and Kings civilians on Brave new world (civilization5)

I have Cracked Brave new world civilization 5 and I want add Gods and kings civilians. so I installed DLC but Gods and Kings Civilizations didn't come. any help?

civilization

Arperum

I Succeeded on my second try. Stupid one-way roads.

@Lazers Go away crackedness.

kalina

I failed the first two times for the most stupid things ever

the first one was the indicator cancelled itself on the way around a large island

and the second one was the clutch in the test car decided to die during my test

Arperum

Those do sound like stupid reasons.

kalina

so I passed on my third attempt

5pike

I failed my first one, because I overtook a cyclist, who was cycling on the main road, instead of the cycling lane.

Arperum

10:35 AM

On the exam where I succeeded I even went over the speed limit >_<

kalina

I think I got caught speeding lastnight

I have no idea how it happened

Arperum

The instructor who failed me was the one who passed my sister, and vice versa.

kalina

suddenly I was doing 50 in a 30

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina always fun

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden and expensive

Kevin van der Velden

10:39 AM

@5pike jup, especially the getting caught bit

fredley

I passed on 4th, first fail was for not driving in a bus lane that was open.

stupid

kalina

my first car ever was a peugeot 206

which was a nice car until a jeep drove over it

Kevin van der Velden

My first fail was "Oh, my teacher neglected to teach me half this stuff and then proceded to bomb my confidence 5 minutes before the start of the test"

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden My father thought me everything about driving. Most of the teachers were freaking terrible.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden I learned all of it from my parents. Never had a specific teacher.

Martin Sojka

10:45 AM

"Dear, you want to learn driving? Remember what your father is doing while driving our car? Just don't do that."

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka I caught my dad going through a small roundabout in 4th gear once

It was terrifying :|

Martin Sojka

@spyder Persecution doesn't care about every shit you do. How is that news?

Kevin van der Velden

> Rumph allegedly tore Price's shirt and threatened him with a knife during the ensuing argument

That bit =p

Martin Sojka

"Allegedly". My grandfather once threatened someone with an axe. Not even "allegedly", I was there and had to help calm him down. Afterwards, nobody gave a shit.

Kevin van der Velden

10:50 AM

Well jeah, if noone wants to press charges there's no case. But if the boyfriend is pressing charges, which I think is the case here, they should pursue it

kalina

@spyder you go girl

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden The "non-news" is about persecution not pressing charges. It says nothing about what the boyfriend does or doesn't do.

kalina

do you mean prosecution?

Martin Sojka

Probably. English is the ... fifth or so language I learned, and I had too little coffee and too much headache so far. ;)

kalina

just making sure, because persecution means something completely different

spyder

10:54 AM

@kalina wat?

kalina

@spyder man refuses to cuddle, rip up his shit and threaten him with a knife

spyder

@kalina and?

kalina

...and that is the right way to deal with no getting cuddles

spyder

@kalina uhh...

I'm not sure why you're shocked

Arperum

11:09 AM

My phone is dying. Yay. The stupid thing fucked up two apps, can't see the SD card at times, wifi doesn't work because "error".

FEichinger

"Shocked" is the wrong word.

It's more like "slightly threatened".

kalina

oh, well that makes it all ok then

Arperum

@FEichinger It's not @kalina who lives under your bed, that's @spugsley.

Private Pansy

@kalina Perhaps your presence is not electrifying enough

kalina

-.-

FEichinger

11:11 AM

@Arperum Well, yes, but I am constantly afraid of @spugsley murdering me in my sleep anyway.

Arperum

@FEichinger And now you know why. You hug-hating monster

FEichinger

@Arperum No, no, that has nothing to do with hugs.

Ved

Helloozz

kalina

Ved

Arperum

11:13 AM

@FEichinger Why the fear then? I haven't seen any attempts at murder from @spugs.

Private Pansy

@Ved The misalignment in this smiley is making me twitch

FEichinger

@Arperum Because she creepily moved into my underbed without my permission!

Q: Where can I get some good modding tutorials or guids for Dwarf Fortress?

I have decided to make 4 mods for Dwarf Fortress. One is a liquid pump designed to make bringing lava to the surface a less painful and dangerous. The other is a blood related religion where sacrifices and worship is both a necessity and a beneficial system. Third would be a toy enhancing mod d...

@Arperum Soo ... @kalina?

@Fluttershy I'm more than happy to take any votes you would have gotten.

kalina

@Arperum he's friends with the monster that's under his bed

Ved

kalina

you just called me stupid

I am not appreciative of this

Arperum

Yay! Third gold badge! Marshal.

Martin Sojka

11:19 AM

He also used a "funny" smiley. These are so last decade and should be considered a crime against humanity by now.

kalina

\o/

@MartinSojka there's nothing wrong with ^_^

Martin Sojka

@kalina I mean the graphical ones.

Ved

I have sent 4 guys to bow

kalina

@MartinSojka right, yes, I understand

4 guys bowing is awesome, I love seeing men on their knees

Ved

Usually they will never, unless point has reached to end of RELATION

Arperum

11:21 AM

@kalina That's not bowing, that's kneeling.

kalina

right, guys bow from the waist

nevermind

Martin Sojka

@kalina You're thinking of "kowtowing", probably.

Ved

when they will tired up, they will return

FEichinger

@kalina ... And this is not what I wanted to be the first thing I read after coming back to this tab.

I think I should just quit the Bridge for a day ...

Ved

Bowing Guys has become the story of the room.

kalina

11:27 AM

@FEichinger sheesh, I'll just be quiet instead then!

Arperum

@FEichinger No need.

Ved

Was it that bad ? @kalina

FEichinger

@kalina Nooooooo! The Bridge needs you! I can just leave and stop reading. I'm off to a bad start with this all anyway.

kalina

no it's FINE

Q: Graphical Client for UnNethack

Somewhat of a followup to the question regarding Nethack graphical clients... Does such a beast exist for UnNethack for OSX? I am not looking for the Vulture client, as I'm pretty sure that only does isometric...I would prefer the top-down, tiled look in the Windows / NetHack-Cocoa clients. Li...

Q: NetHack Clients For OS X?

What clients exist for OS X? I am using the official QT port (graphical).

os-x nethack

So is there a reason why one of these questions has 4 close votes and the other has zero? Am I missing something?

5pike

11:34 AM

TZHX

@Wipqozn fairly popular game vs. rather obscure fork of popular game?

Wipqozn

@TZHX Maybe. People do vote silly like that sometimes.

Kevin van der Velden

Showers that take half an hour are awesome :)

Also my fingers are now all wrinkely

Wipqozn

Unless I'm missing something my thought was that people just closed voted the question and didn't bother going through to the linked question.

kalina

@Wipqozn they're both game-recs, just one predates the other by a few years

Wipqozn

11:44 AM

@kalina Yes, but like I said the earlier one was linked in the original question.

So anyone voting on one should have seen the other question and voted on it as well.

kalina

it's not immediately obvious that link continues through to a page on Arqade. If I spent my time clicking on all of the links in content I voted to close I'd be constantly looking at random crap for Minecraft mods.

fredley

You wouldn't download a car

3

kalina

and I'm sorry, but my time is a little more valuable than that

Wipqozn

@kalina If you read the entire question then it should be fairly clear.

kalina

@Wipqozn It was fairly clear the question that appeared in the queue was off topic due to being a game recommendation

Ved

11:48 AM

...

Wipqozn

@kalina The first sentence of the question references the other question. The wording and title should have at least made you suspect that the other question may have been suffering from the same problems.

5pike

fredley

@5pike haha

5pike

@fredley I remember seeing a link to this torrent (a car). Don't know if it's still around, though.

kalina

@Wipqozn I think you need to perhaps get off my back about this, due to me not being all that interested in being spoken to like this about something that isn't really my problem

Wipqozn

11:52 AM

@kalina I'm just addressing the statements you made that "it's not immediately obvious that link continues through to a page on Arqade".

Also, you are one of the close voters. So I'd say it is your problem.

kalina

@Wipqozn it's not, while the question in... question, does obviously need closing as a game rec

Is my close vote on that question incorrect?

Wipqozn

Everyone makes mistakes, and that's totally cool, but I wouldn't say that it doesn't count as "not your problem."

kalina

Woah - hang on, where is the mistake?

Should I have not voted to close that question?

Because a minute ago you said it was a game recommendation

and now you're accusing me of making a mistake?

Martin Sojka

@fredley I totally would (... since my brother worked for the R&D divisions of BMW and MAN and they did it all the time there ;)).

Wipqozn

@kalina Not voting on and investigating that other question. My apologies if that wasn't clear from my wording.

Blem

11:53 AM

@5pike I would do this if I could :D

FEichinger

> followup to the question regarding Nethack graphical clients...

That doesn't look like an Arqade link to me.

It looks like a random link to a nethack graphical client.

Or a list thereof.

kalina

@Wipqozn I don't see a reason to investigate every link on every question that needs closing

fredley

@MartinSojka Criminal!

kalina

I made no mistake, I would gratefully request you stop trying to insinuate that is the case

FEichinger

I probably wouldn't have looked into that link either.

Wipqozn

11:55 AM

@FEichinger If only the link existed, sure, but the context before the post makes it clear in my opinion.

kalina

Especially from somebody who does as little reviewing as you

FEichinger

@Wipqozn It makes absolutely nothing clear. If "the question regarding" was also part of the link, I'd agree.

Wipqozn

@kalina You do realize that the review queue doesn't count your votes if you don't perform the votes/edits in te actual queue, right?

kalina

I am fully aware, yes

Wipqozn

I rarely if ever actually vote in the queue itself. I always go through to the post. In fact I usually never bother with the queue to begin wit.

fredley

11:56 AM

Oh god developing python and Javascript at the same time

kalina

You do realise that if you had politely asked me to put a close vote on the other question rather than jump at me making accusations of being at fault, this conversation would have been far more pleasant, right?

fredley

Such syntax, very error

Wipqozn

@FEichinger Well, obviously we disagree on that key point.

Wandang

I can't edit posts with se app ....

FEichinger

I'm really not sure what your problem is, even.

Wandang

11:57 AM

Tells me I don't have the rights

fredley

@Wandang Are you logged in?

Arperum

@FEichinger That the other question didn't get closevotes.

FEichinger

I mean, clearly four people disagree with you. Actually, make that five, because I hadn't voted on it.

kalina

@FEichinger you're missing what he was saying, I think

Wandang

Yes my profile is visible in navigation

Private Pansy

11:58 AM

@Wipqozn You can always open in a new tab, vote/comment/flag, then go back and refresh, and the "I'm Done" button will be available

kalina

unless by disagree you mean checking the link

fredley

@Wandang sound like a job for bug!

FEichinger

@kalina I mean that clearly five people didn't think the link was worth checking. And unless we assume malice, that is disagreeing with @Wipqozn.

Wandang

I am on phone right now so I don't want to write a bug report like this

Wipqozn

@kalina I didn't make any accusations to you. In fact I started this whole thing by trying to find out if there was something I'm missing. You were defensive before I ever made any statements addressed directly toyou.

@Wandang Seems like the edit worked?

Q: Do Dota 2 battle point boosters stack?

I have this battle point booster that is 80% already activated ,but I want to buy the 400% one to activate it at the same time. Do they stack?

dota-2

kalina

@FEichinger I think based on the way he approached the conversation - accusing other people of making mistakes without having a clue what he's talking about - we can assume malice.

Wandang

I don't even know where to post. I have no Google+

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy Sure, but that's kind of pointless just to increase my review count.

I don't care about increasing my review count, but helping the site.

Wandang

@5spike I edited that via normal browser after 2 tries with se app

Private Pansy

I do it sometimes, if only because I open links in new tabs habitually

Wipqozn

12:00 PM

I usually don't bother with the review queue at all since I normally just click through. I've started using it more the last few days though. I still dislike it.

5pike

@Wandang Ah, ok

Wandang

Did I miss drama?

And I am not involved

5pike

Drama didn't end yet, I think.

Wipqozn

@kalina There was no malice intended on my part, and I believe "accusations is a bit strong for what I was doing.

kalina
