Q: Cannot get clay soldiers or any mods to work

I have ran versions 1.0 all the way to 1.8 manually, I have downloaded forge now it says I have ForgeModLoader-client-0, ForgeModLoader-client-0.log.lck, ForgeModLoader-Client-1 and ForgeModLoader-client-2 In my mods folder I have: SAP_MANPACKCORE_v200a(2), CSM_v200a(2), 1.7.2.-mods, 1.7.2-mods....

Powerlord

OK, seriously work? You're pushing another update when most people are at lunch and will likely forcefully reboot computers after a 10 minute timeout?

MBraedley

That doesn't look right. Am I supposed to see a list of episodes?

Arperum

@Powerlord I hope they saved their work.

RPi Awesomeness

4:19 PM

@Powerlord Wow...

Unionhawk

@Arperum They didn't, and this event won't teach them.

RPi Awesomeness

@Powerlord Someone needs to figure out how to force-save all work prior to a reboot...

Obviously, if you're on Linux you can run sudo sync, but I don't think Windows has that capability

Arperum

@RPiAwesomeness Good luck writing a piece of code that does that, over all software it might run into.

RPi Awesomeness

@Arperum ikr :P

Unionhawk

Usually Windows will stop a non-forceful reboot if it detects something's trying to save (read: has a message box open preventing closure)

RPi Awesomeness

4:22 PM

It can do that, yes, but will that work w. a network force-reboot?

GnomeSlice

Battle Brothers pre-alpha status: DIFFICULT

MBraedley

Well it'll try and close programs gracefully first. Most programs will catch the window close message and prompt to save if necessary, and can do that before Windows starts to shut down proper

GnomeSlice

@MBraedley Yes.

Powerlord

4:30 PM

I doubt anyone would get fired over this, but I guarantee you that complaints will go up the management chain... particularly if a 17 level manager (like, say, Eric, who heads up this department) loses work as he reports directly to the IT director.

@MBraedley You realize that this reboot is being forced by Windows itself, right? I imagine it just kills unresponsive processes.

Unionhawk

Yeah, I don't imagine it'll try to gracefully do things. It might.

Powerlord

Likely using shutdown -r -f -t 600

hmm, lvl 1 treebeast can beat everything up to lvl 19

I have no idea what program they use to push software updates.

System Center Configuration Manager

System Center Configuration Manager (officially referred to as ConfigMgr 2012 or ConfigMgr 2007 or simply ConfigMgr), formerly Systems Management Server (SMS), is a systems management software product by Microsoft for managing large groups of computers running Windows, Windows Embedded, Mac OS X, Linux or UNIX, as well as various mobile operating systems such as Windows Phone, Symbian, iOS and Android.

"OK, now does your bite feel weird?"

YES, HALF OF MY FACE IS NUMB THAT IS WEIRD

I also need to have at least one wisdom tooth removed

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot You should do this proactively.

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot AND I'M PROBABLY BITING DOWN ON MY GUMS, BUT I CAN'T FEEL IT BECAUSE OF HALF OF MY FACE IS NUMB.

StrixVaria

My dentist told me to go to an oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth removed "at my earliest convenience".

A year later, my wisdom tooth literally broke in half, and the half that remained was a spike that stabbed me in the cheek every time I closed my mouth.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Meh, all my wisdom teeth are in.

RPi Awesomeness

4:55 PM

@StrixVaria You should listen to your dentist!

StrixVaria

@RPiAwesomeness Yes.

Unionhawk

Woo no wisdom teeth \o/

Origami Robot

Unless there is no cost difference, I only want the one with the cavity removed

Wipqozn

While playing Assassin's Creed 2, I noticed that with the hidden blade (but this applies to every other weapon), even if I press with the press the counterattack button (mouse SX), it feels like there is 50-50 chance that the attack will strike, otherwise I'll stand there taking lots of damage.

@StrixVaria Huh. Mine said there were no issues with my wisdom teeth. Just that if I didn't like them, they could pull them.

Unionhawk

Wisdom teeth tend to cause problems from what I understand.

Which isn't much

All I know is my dentist has looked at my x-rays, said "well, there's the wisdom teeth... wait... counts nope, you don't have wisdom teeth, actually" at least 3 times.

For the first two challenge panels, I just used my golden hammers on the "get a combo of x," but now I'm seeing on challenge panel 3, the game expects you to get a combo of 100!

@Powerlord Huh. I thought it was for Verizon. Guess I'm wrong.

@Frank Comcast isn't a mobile provider and the FCC can already get Comcast in lots of trouble if they are as land-line providers in the US are iirc already banned from doing crap like that.

StrixVaria

@Frank I had a cavity in one. Otherwise there was no issue.

Frank

@Powerlord Wireless should be, as well.

Let's hope the FCC enforces wireless just like wired.

@Frank At the moment, they don't. Which is part of the problem.

I see from the recent starred posts, you guys were discussing doing a 100% Majora's Mask run earlier

You just need some sort of guide to show you when things happen (I think I had one from Nintendo Power)

Origami Robot

We were discussing watching one, not doing one.

I also did a 3 heart run, which was surprisingly easy since you get 6 bottles and almost nothing hits for 3+ hearts.

Q: What is the optimal strategy for sacrificing faith?

The results of sacrificing faith seem quite complex mathematically. On the one hand, being able to get more faith in the pool for the same points is great, because it increases productivity.

there are very few games on nintendo consoles that I care enough for to pay the console-tax on games :P

@Batophobia It's not just Pokemon, Nintendo has a lot of amazing titles on handhelds.

it's difficult for me to justify spending 40-60$ on a game, when I get games on PC for under 20$

@Chippies Or under $0.20

Microsoft doesn't have handhelds, and Sony seems to only want watered-down console games (or even more watered-down PC games if you want to put it that way) on their handhelds.

So just curious how it was handled in the SE system.
