Q: Why can't my minecraft skin go to the personalized one that I created for it

DatrixTSWI have created a nice looking Argonian with the Lich Kings Armor on it along with the Deadric Helmet from Skyrim. What I want to know is why it won't change the skin I choose to upload to Minecraft.net? I gave it plenty of time. Restarting my computer didn't do a thing, restarting Minecraft did...

Q: Cant log into any minecraft server

MayaEvery time i try to log into any mine craft server i wait 5-10 minutes while it says logging in and then it stops and says failed to log in all authentication servers are down for maintenance and it does that for every server i have. I have already tried restarting mine craft and re installing it...

user15026
I am starting to think I make a terrible tech rep.
@AshleyNunn No! You're awesome!
You can do things I don't know the first thing about!
user15026
I just spent 45 min on the phone with someone and I couldn't solve the problem
user15026
and I just have no idea why.
user15026
00:53
Like as far as I can see, everything should work
user15026
And I know if I tell my boss tomorrow, he will go "did you do x y and z" and I will go, as I do, "yes I did" and he will go "do x y and z".
user15026
(sorry, I won't whine.)
Have you tried turning it on and off?
Yes
Have you tried turning it on and off *again*?
@AshleyNunn they're probably lying to you
user15026
Like I followed my support stuff to the letter, and it just doesn't make a damn bit of sense.
user15026
00:56
@Aequitas I'd know if they were.
Isn't there some point where you're suppose to send someone down there to check on the physical hardware?
I don't know your job but how would you know?
user15026
@PrivatePansy The hardware isn't the problem. Seriously this connection looks beautiful as far as I can see it, just every device that tries to connect to it fails out
user15026
And we checked cabling and router settings and I even managed to determine their stuff on custom firmware
user15026
and all of it looks as it should
user15026
00:57
just no device in the house can work
@AshleyNunn When in doubt, attempt twentieth century percussion maintenance.
user15026
now part of me really wants to blame the custom router firmware
user15026
Because like I see everything as it should, I can ping their equipment (router and PoE) and test the bandwidth and it all looks great
user15026
just every device is like "we see the conneciton, we try to connect, and we fail"
Not to dis you, but pretty much every tech support call I've had with my ISP went like this
user15026
00:59
So tomorrow, I am going to go to my boss and be like "obviously i am missing something" and if he goes "its internal" I will go "I know" and repeat myself, and ask him repeatedly for more help
user15026
@PrivatePansy Oh, trust me, I know how it all goes, because I do it
user15026
every day
user15026
and I get just as frustrated with myself and the whole infrastructure
user15026
so yeah, dis me all you like, it's fine, I'm already saying all that to myself.
Try turning your modem off and on again.
Not working.
Try resetting your modem.
Nope, still not working.
Okay, we'll try to sort it out on my side. *hold music* Is it working
Nope.
Okay, we'll send someone down tomorrow
user15026
01:00
@Aequitas I can see if you reboot devices.
yeh but you ask "have you touched anything" and they're always like "no we followed all instructions"
user15026
@PrivatePansy See, if it were DSL, I could be like "send a tech" but since it is wireless and internal, technically we don't do that, and if we do, it costs teh customer.
then you spend 10 days of investigating
user15026
@Aequitas and I can go "no you didn't"
turns out they modified some files
that's what happens with me
they've always touched something
and always tells us they didnt
01:02
"No I totally didn't disable DHCP so none of the devices are able to get a LAN IP, absolutely not...except maybe"
user15026
@TimStone Luckily, most of my customers aren't smart enough for that stuff
user15026
I just get so frustrated when I can't fix it
user15026
because if I can't, it goes to my boss
user15026
and there are literally tickets from the day I started that he never has gotten to
user15026
so I just get really stressed and angry
user15026
01:03
because I want to fix it
user15026
and since I am alone past 6 pm, I just kinda...flail at things
user15026
and hope to god no one calls
Next time it happens let me know and I'll remotely shake my fist and hopefully that'll work
user15026
but then I get people like this, where I just....I can't think of any reason why this isn't working for them, because every metric I have shows that it should
user15026
I just....this job makes me feel so out of my depth, and while I am learning things very slowly, there is just....a lot of holes and I don't know how to fill in those holes
user15026
01:04
Sorry, guys
user15026
I don't mean to be a total downer.
Eh, somewhere this is likely some engineer's fault for going "That'll never happen" and it happened now and is making stuff break :P
Damn anonymous engineer
user15026
@TimStone I am pretty convinced it is likely something with their setup with their router because it is using custom firmware
user15026
but I don't know enoguh to say for sure
user15026
and I will bet you a lot of money that my boss will have no idea when I ask him tomorrow how to even deal with this
01:07
@TimStone who does that!? shifty eyes
01:23
@AshleyNunn I don't think you should even be allowed to support custom firmwares
you're not trained to support custom firmware and if the user doesn't know how to deal with a custom firmware, they shouldn't be having it
user15026
@Chippies Yeah, I dunno
user15026
Like I tried my best
user15026
but I literally do not understand why this conneciton does not work
user15026
So I am going to ask my boss a bunch of questions tomorrow
user15026
and hopefully, I get decent answers or support
01:26
did their connection work wired?
user15026
I got error 651, which is another thing I don't know what to do with, the internet is not helpful (because it tells me to do all the things I already do)
user15026
so I couldn't get a wired connection going because I don't know how to solve that error short of the internet suggesting registry edits and various other scary things I don't feel confortable helping people with
did the router work before though?
or did they get it and it never really worked
it could be either the router or possibly the device settings
user15026
Router worked fine before
odd that it just stopped working one day
user15026
01:32
They said they've not changed anything in house
user15026
They just can't get any devices to connect
user15026
the conneciton is there
user15026
they can press "connect" in ther network list
what devices did they try to connect with?
user15026
then windows just goes "Cannot connect to <network name>" and if they trpoubleshooot it jsut tells them to restart teh devices
user15026
01:33
which we did three times
I've had a similar experience with windows and an old router at in-laws
my laptop had old wifi settings saved and they had new router under same SSID
and I spent a loooong time messing with settings until I could connect to it
user15026
I honestly think there is likely something weird with the router
it's very likely so
do you remember what custom firmware it was? Just curious
user15026
but I don't know, because I know I run Tomato on my own router, but I don't know it well enough to troubleshoot a PPPoE connection on it, I just nkow how to make it do the specific bridging I need for my connection
user15026
so I checked the basic settings, and they seemed correct
user15026
01:37
but I don't know what else it might be doing
user15026
Tomato v1.28 I think
seems to be the newest available...
user15026
Yeah, that was my understanding too
eh, stop thinking about it, you may wake up next morning and immediately know what was wrong :P
if it even matters then
user15026
@Chippies I won't, but at least tomorrow I can go "hello boss person what do you know about x" and if he goes "do basic things" I will look him straight in the eye and reiterate what I did
01:38
@Chippies I can't remember how many times I've dumped a problem to my subconscious, only to have it serve me the answer right as I'm falling asleep.
@Frank obsessing over something usually makes you think about everything, but the problem at hand
@AshleyNunn see "they've said" they're lying I tell you!
user15026
@Aequitas This is not helping.
@Aequitas if you can't prove it, you have to trust them, even if you think they're lying
because the only other option is to say "you're lying" and hang up
and that probably wouldn't go too well with the boss
user15026
Hahahah nope
01:42
why are you even trying if they've got custom stuff? shouldn't that void you from needing to give support?
like how minecraft and mods
@AshleyNunn For some amusement, check out thedailywtf.com
user15026
@Frank The daily wtf keeps me smiling some days
user15026
Seriously
Some of it is code, but there's lots of, "Seriously!? Someone actually did that?!"
user15026
Yeah, Those are the ones that get me
user15026
01:44
I am trying not to let this job sour my desire to be in tech
@AshleyNunn It restores my confidence. No matter how badly I do, I can take solace in the fact that there are people FAR worse.
user15026
@Frank Yeah, there are totally people worse
user15026
I just think my biggest issue is lack of support at my current job
user15026
and that's souring my perception of everything
02:10
@AshleyNunn ooh that sucks
user15026
Yep. Like I can't even articulate it
user15026
I am just a sadness ball because I really want to help eople
user15026
but I just....when I can't, there isn't really anywhere to go with it
@AshleyNunn you could send them to SO
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Well, it is "how do we fix internet plz" so SO isn't the right spot :P
02:14
@AshleyNunn ah, they want serverfault instead
Or Superuser
user15026
I'm pretty sure if I sent any of my customers to SF they'd be shot on sight
Heh
"Ask good questions. Violators will be shot."
user15026
It's more that SF expects professionals
user15026
Which makes sense, because I know the sorts of things now that people ask about their internet.
02:24
@spugsley OMG WHAT JUST HAPPENED I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT IS LIFE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@AshleyNunn Well yes
Also this
Let's also still ignore that on any site "I have no internet wat do" is a "wat"
Even on SU which is the closest match I think
"how i da googlez?"
user15026
@Unionhawk YEah, theres' not really anyplace to go with it
user15026
Which sucks
SU may be able to do it I don't know
Probably not
It's still a "you're on the internet right now wat"

Q: How do I disable internet access on Fez for the Vita?

Panda PajamaI bought Fez for the Vita, and I've been playing it for a few days.

@Lazers2.0 Turn off the network switch.
I think that would work.
I think it works for the PSP Go, I don't have a Vita so I dunno.
@murgatroid99 I figured it out. It was Dry Baby.
@Ktash RIGHT?!?!?!?!
@spugsley :O ...
lol I'm glad you like it. Ian was kind of apathetic haha
user15026
02:42
@spugsley are you on steam because I found a bunch of dresses I want to share at you because they're SO PRETTY but also probably a little NSFW so I don't want to share it here
he doesn't get excited by much haha
@AshleyNunn I'LL GET ON NOW
@AshleyNunn Oh dear. Too NSFW even for B:AD?
My word, @AshleyNunn.
user15026
@spugsley Tell him the internet has made up for his apathy because you look amazeballs.
user15026
@Yuuki I just got some flack when I shared bodypainting stuff here, and this feels like it might run along those same appropriateness lines
user15026
so i am hedging my bets
02:43
@AshleyNunn Ah.
@spugsley ...
@AshleyNunn he tells me I'm beautiful all the time but neat changes like this doesn't really do anything extra haha
user15026
@spugsley Haha, I get that, I just like to tease :P
...
@AshleyNunn nah all good :) I'm glad my internets peeps gets excited I just don't want you to think he's being all mean cause he's not
user15026

@spugsley Nah, I nkow he's a super good guy :)

GUESS WHO GETS TO TAKE (albeit unpaid) DAYS OFF TO GO TO CEDAR POINT

Huh. @Uni has one less butt than I expected.
@Unionhawk my friends go to a con near Cedar Point every year and they end up missing the con and just going to Cedar Point lololol
Yeah cc @GodEmperorDune, I'm sure your headcanon is broken now
02:56
@Yuuki Easier to fit in a roller coaster seat that way.
so apparently, it's awesome
@spugsley It is
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, I had imagined the other one would just be where his face would've been, so it wouldn't really take up a seat.
user15026
@Unionhawk Awesome!
@Unionhawk Man, you suck at hints.
02:58
Well you know what if you needed a hint, then I don't know what to tell you
I have no words
who would have thought that getting purple hair would be such a confidence booster. I feel amazing todayyyyyyyyy
@spugsley ...
user15026
@spugsley Yay! I am glad. I found when I did fun stuff like that for myself, I always felt super happy.
user15026
I think because it is just a physical reminder of "I took care of myself and did a nice thing and it LOOKS SO GREAT"

This isn't even an answer...
I guess they think that it's just a normal forum, and not a dedicated Q&A site
I guess people probably don't know there's a tour page telling them what it is.
Should we have some sort of bubble for new users before they do anything that tells them to read the Tour page?
Part of something like a welcome message?

or a queue for new questions
don't even put them on the site until reviewed lol

why hello there.
it seems i collected some close votes on my question. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/228975/…
is there any way to see the reasons given?
@npst If you can cast close votes, you can. All 4 are "Off-Topic - Questions that ask for recommendations of games, software, or hardware are off topic. For more information on why these sorts of questions don't work here, see "So, what actually is a Game-Rec?" and "Q&A Is Hard. Let's Go Shopping!""
oh, I will.
At least with "So, what actually is a Game-Rec?" There seems to be nothing wrong with my question.
And I can't find the second one.
Could it be, by your judgement @MartinSojka, that some people (other than myself) misunderstood the nature of my question and/or the OT-description?
It's a question about a distinct subset of games, 100% answerable, not up for discussions and not prompting for opinions

Q: Why is Minecraft asking for 3 questions instead of 1?
