Q: Why does my technic launcher download bar continually reset?

WisdomPlease answer this quickly as it could easily finish, but it resets back to 0 before it finishes and I really want to play this ;-;.

Q: Playstation Portable Internet Connectivity Problem

GFD1998So I have a playstation portable, and I am trying to get internet on it. I scanned available routers, and the one we have comes up, and says WPA-PSK (TKIP) right by the router name. I put in the network password, but the connection is showing an error and saying to check the network security sett...

Q: Why do gamers usually refer to bugs as "glitches"?

EMBLEMThrough the rest of the software industry, and among users of non-entertainment software, "bug" is the more common term. What etymological reasons account for the preference for "glitch" in the gaming world?

 
I'm having fun with The Division now. The underground stuff is neat and they added item sets in so gearing is more interesting
But in Forza Horizon 3 I'm in the [Otaku] clan and my license plate is "ANIMES"
 
Westworld drinking game: take a drink every time you get confused

1:16 AM
@Unionhawk judging by your previous posts about that you would be very drunk then yes?
 
I have too many games to play right now
 
@Ash It's looking like a 2 beer operation roughly
 
I wonder how much of a wreck the next debate will be
 
1:33 AM
Like if you made it a drinking game for an HBO GO binge
That'd be fun or something

Q: Minecraft Texture Pack Creating - Ghosting

iuxaI've been playing around with creating a Minecraft Texture Pack, but when I put the items into the game there is ghosting around the edges. I've looked around, but the only answers I can find are to make a hard edge, which I already have. Here is a screenie of the problem, using a bow for exampl...

 
10/10 drinking game
 
2:10 AM
Would absolutely recommend
 
Last night, I learned that beer and cheesecake do not mix.
Also, that top-shelf whiskey should never be imbibed by me, no matter how much peer pressure I find myself under.
 
Wat
Well tonight I learned westworld and beer absolutely does mix
 
@Unionhawk yuss
Unfortunately I watch westworld on my Monday lunch break so I can't confirm
 
Currently my rules are "drink when confused or upon a 'holy shit' moment"
 
@Unionhawk It was a friend's birthday party last night. I had a lot of beers, and someone decided to get him a cheesecake instead of birthday cake. I ate a piece of said cheesecake after a lot of beers. I ended up vomiting beer and cheesecake and whiskey.
Nothing worse than sweet vomit. It just makes you vomit more.
Such a good song.

2:58 AM
@Fluttershy that sounds miserable.
 
@Ash It was pretty terrible. :(
But at least I wasn't the first one out at the party. That went to the birthday guy.

Q: In Master Of Orion, is there a relocate functionality?

StampedeXVIn Master Of Orion I at least, there was a RELOC functionality that allowed you to send all produced ship of one system to another. Is there a similar functionality in released Master Of Orion 2016?

 
Started watching Steven Universe
It's not bad. Greg might be the best TV dad
Steven is kind of obnoxious

@GnomeSlice begins his journey towards MLP

Or are all the shows about lesbians interchangeable
I kid, I kid
Cheeseburger backpack was pretty funny
 
4:01 AM
@GnomeSlice are old episodes on a streaming service?
 
I googled them
YouTube
 
oh, cool
thanks
 
Kinda tricky to find them
 
i mean i prefer a legit source but if there is none available...

@GodEmperorDune hm?
 
4:17 AM
Ugh I basically don't have time to play other games right now
Aside from WoW
One of my guildmates likes to organize 3-4+ hour dungeon runs
I don't dislike it but it's exhausting
 
@Ash the things that should happen at rollover didn't happen, but now it's fixed

Q: TES4 Oblivion: Character Switching

TooManyCablesI have almost always found Elder Scrolls canon. I first realised this when I once played a strict warrior type character, who in an attempt to complete everything in that 'world', come across the Mage's Guild questline which is a grind to complete for my class, only to pretend that I never even t...

ShadowFire2016for the past couple of years I've been playing borderlands 2 on my PS3... a week ago I bought Borderlands the Handsome Collection for my PS4... after porting my save I've found that I am not gaining exp for any kills and/or quests... what am I missing...

@badp That was rather interesting... I never realized how different software development was in those days.
 
8:39 AM
 
@fredley I think that may be to try and prevent Scotland from becoming independent and joining the EU.
 
@Nzall It's roundheads that want to lock up Cavaliers. Or vice versa.
Probably cavaliers that want to lock up roundheads.
Roundhead was the name given to the supporters of the Parliament of England during the English Civil War. Also known as Parliamentarians, they fought against Charles I of England and his supporters, the Cavaliers or Royalists, who claimed rule by absolute monarchy and the divine right of kings. The goal of the Roundhead party was to give the Parliament supreme control over executive administration. Most Roundheads sought constitutional monarchy in place of the absolutist monarchy sought by Charles I. However, at the end of the English Civil War in 1649, public antipathy towards the king was high...
@GodEmperorDune I'm still at this stage tbh

@fredley Waking up from a hiccup and screaming into your parents ears?
 
@Arperum Depends who else is in the bed at the time
 
@fredley So you're sleeping with your parents and other people at the same time?
 
Morning chat
 
@fredley Crazies.
 
TIL exactly how common my name is in the netherlands
It's the 83rd out of 100
There is, however, also a version without the n at the end, which is different for reasons and at 72
If you count those two together it'd be 24th most common according to this list
 
8:59 AM
@KevinvanderVelden I think I knew some people at some point named Vandevelde or something else close to your name.
 
Can be, they don't make a distinction between van der/van den/van de in the list
 
@KevinvanderVelden There's only 100 names in the Netherlands?
 
@fredley top 100, duh
But yeah meh
 
So it's 83rd?
83/10000
83/83
 
@fredley No, at least 100.
 
9:00 AM
Sorry, I'm feeling extra pedantic today
 
Apparently
It's a list of 100 most common so I typed out of 100 because I was reading a good book and suddenly it was 2 and I had to wake up at 8
 
@badp Neat! My mom had at one point been taught how to program with punch cards, but I think she came at it more from the secretary/typist side.
 
9:18 AM
So, Yoda conditions. Appropriate way to deal with value checks of nullable vars?
example: instead of (nullable != null && nullable == -1), you just write (-1 == nullable)
 
You only need the former part if you're checking a property generally: maybe != null && maybe.property === -1
 
@fredley Also in Java when you have a nullable Integer that you want to set to null if it has a certain value
 
@Nzall Didn't know Java ints were nullable
 
@fredley Integers (the class itself) are nullable
not too sure about the primitive type
and we're using Integers because we're working with Struts 2, where an empty parameter in a request is translated to null

Q: Can Helldivers be played cross-platform PS3 and PS4?

DaftI know it can be done with some PS3 / PS4 games, but can it be done with Helldivers, and if so, how?

 
example:
if(view.getStatus() != null && view.getStatus() == -1){view.setStatus(null);}
 
@KevinvanderVelden waves I was reading until 3:30
 
So you understand my tiredness =p
Also markov chains are fun
 
then later on, view.status is used to generate criteria for a search query, and -1 in there gives issues because the status is only ignored as a criteria if it's null.
 
@fredley I mean, might as well put the EU at the same level as the nazi or fascist party
 
9:52 AM
I assume this topic has been brought up in the past, but, is it by design that links in body text are hardly recognizable on Arqade?
Like, I would not be able to tell that there is a link in that answer
 
@OliverSalzburg I think it has been reported before. That's a visited link though, unvisited links are lighter blue and thus loads more visible.
 
@Arperum Ah, I see

Q: Visited-links are too low-contrast

SevenSidedDieVisited links on the site are a dark blue that has very low contrast with the surrounding black text. This isn't a problem in post bodies since links are dotted-underlined (except in post preview, oddly), but visited links tend to disappear in comments. I'm a visually-typical individual, and eve...

Here I go :D
Well, it was only reported 4 years ago. That's not a lot at all
 
@OliverSalzburg that's worse then the unvisited link colour in GDSE chat: meta.gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/1624/…
 
10:08 AM
wtf
It seems like this would be very easy to fix with big UX benefits
 
@OliverSalzburg Is it a visited link? afaik non-visited links are a bit more visible
@Arperum INB2004
 
@fredley Yeah, it is. It's pretty confusing though when you write a post and submit it
> Where did my link go?
 
@OliverSalzburg Edge case :P
 
@fredley Is it common practice on Arqade that older questions get closed as dupes of a newer question?
Like that Minesweeper question :P
And it seems like there are more dupes hiding in
 
@OliverSalzburg It's not common. Older questions are sometimes closed as dupes of newer ones if the newer q/a is markedly better than the older one.
 
10:14 AM
I see
 
@fredley Yes. At least.
 
I am having the worst day. Mandatory Salesforce platform training. Currently we are having a live demo of the UI. It's on a massive screen. All of the controls are too small to read. All of the Salesforce terminology is confusing. Everything is awful.
 
@fredley aren't you happy
 
@badp So much Success
 
@fredley now your economy can shrink in peace
the pound has gotten out of the way
 
10:26 AM
@badp I'm just going to remember the good times when we had a stable government and you had Berlusconi
Italian Spiderman Trump
 
@fredley should the brexit anguish ever get stronger than the urge not to write perl, we're hiring ~
 
@badp Not there yet
 
@fredley should the feelings overflow, you better do so before you need to get a passport and get in the long way
 
@badp I'm sure I can find some heritage somewhere
 
@fredley but hey think about how much stronger you'll be in the "anglosphere"
you will be able to apply for slaver--- I mean, a fixed-job-title-and-employer visa in the US for example!
like, uh, everyone else.
or apply for the similar thing in Australia
like, uh, everyone else
or in New Zealand
like, uh, everyone else
 
@fredley that website is quickly running out of places where it can show auto-playing video ads
 
@badp I block, I wouldn't know
 
that's weird, the weaker pound surely should mean higher absolute-value advertisement payouts!!
 
you used to get £.00naught per thousand clicks, soon that'll be like £4,000. GROWTH!
you can play a fun game of spot the three animated ads
 
10:37 AM
@badp wow
 
soon we'll have picture-in-picture advertisement
 
Ignore tedious moralising, just block ads
 
@fredley I like that you still have the Facebook bullshit after "blocking ads"
 
@badp Yeah, not sure why that's there. I have ghostery too which should remove that.
"As part of the UI redesign, the create and cancel buttons, which are the same style and colour, have been switched. Sorry about that"
 
@fredley That sounds like the best decision ever.
 
10:48 AM
It sounds like something I would do
And then I'd argue for hours how it's a very important change
 
@OliverSalzburg You are the worst kind of person
 
"our growing Macintosh user base..."
 
@fredley You'll get used to the switched positions just in time for when we finally revert the change! :D
 
@fredley I thought you of all people would appreciate such trolling
I mean, you did got people to install an extension that then made google give giant red warnings when you open the bridge

Q: How to build a satellite network around Kerbin which guarantees full coverage?

PhilippWith update 1.2, you need to make sure that probes always have a communication link to Kerbin. There is also an advanced difficulty setting where you don't have stations all over Kerbin but only have the KSC. With that option on, each probe requires either direct line of sight to the KSC or to a ...

 
11:02 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Or when it was just made it turned all links into friday links.
 
@OliverSalzburg You are the worst kind of person
 
@fredley I think we've concluded that you are the same kind of person as he is
And that @Wipqozn is worse than both of you combined
 
Wipqozn worsethan(x) ∀ x
 
11:16 AM
Now the salesforce app we're being demoed has crashed
gg
 
At least it's an accurate representation
 
Having a demo crash is always a good start.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm so skilled at being the worst humanity has to offer
 
@Wipqozn well, at least it's a skill =p
 
I just got a mobile message about customs clearance fees on a delivery I'm getting
wtf do i even do with that
 
11:26 AM
Pay them presumably
 
"pay in advance and expedite delivery"
does that mean I have to pay online with the thing or what
 
I have no idea, that depends entirely on your shipping company thing
I would however go to their website directly and not from any links in the message, just in case
 
Yeah good call
it's not the first one they've sent i got one that let me move the delivery date a few days ago
which is good because I moved to a day im off
will they still deliver it if I don't do it or what

Oh @Nzall also replied to it
 
Yeah, found it
daily mash is British Onion right?
 
Pretty much
 
Thought so

Proggy if anybody's a fan
 
@GnomeSlice I haven't listened to that an a while. It's really good though.

Same, I was just thinking about it at work yesterday so I'm giving it another spin
@Ronan You ever listen to his next album?
 
Maybe?
 
Doesn't look familiar, so probably not.
 
@Ronan Oooo listen to it when you have a chance
no idea what quality that YouTube vid it's like, it's on his bandcamp tho
Believe it's a free download now too
 
Yeah I will do.
 
11:45 AM
Near the end of the album though so if you don't want spoilers, wait
Man, I forgot how metal some parts of Preschtale are
fuck yeah C-jeff

Q: How Can I FTP To XBox 360 Without Modding

DomainsFeaturedI would like to use my Xbox to store some files. I have seen many tutorials on FTPing to your Xbox but only if you are running a "modded" dashboard. I'm good with IPs, DNS and FileZilla. However, I haven't been able to connect. Anyone know how to do connect to an Xbox 360 via FTP? Otherwise, I ...

 
@OliverSalzburg the picture or the fact that there's so many police shootings against black people?
 
12:20 PM
@fredley Did you... put your underpants in there?
 
@Nzall that's the mayor's underpants
don't ask me how I know what mayor's underpants look like
 
@Chippies Apparently he gets really mad and gives you hush money if you do that
 
@fredley hah, that's pretty cool
my wife started playing Stardew Valley couple days ago again
 
@Chippies RIP wife
 
so many updates since we last played
 
12:27 PM
@Chippies Like what?
I'm assuming Iridium quality, which got added quite recently, but what else?
 
@OliverSalzburg I think that's what the refrance
 
@fredley I'm not entirely sure, because a lot of them are kinda subtle
there's price balancing, lots of romance changes etc
you can now choose a different farm
there's one where monsters spawn at night
 
I think I actually bought Stardew valley, but haven't played it yet
 
you can divorce now, afaik
 
@Chippies neat
 
12:29 PM
I'm not really a fan of management games that require you to place your buildings manually though
especially if they can't be moved afterwards
 
@Nzall They can be moved
And building placement is not really a big issue.
 
@fredley Really? I remember reading a review that mentioned the barn cannot be moved, for example
 
@fredley I don't think they could back when I played, but maybe that's something else they added
 
@Nzall It can, as of a recent update
 
nice
removes one of my reasons for not playing it
 
12:36 PM
@fredley That's a nice pair of underwear
Man I really need to get back into Stardew Valley
Thre's been so many improvements since I played at launch
and I enver even finished my first year
26 hours on it though. That game has a lot of conttent.
The Mines is my favourite part about that, because all the newer harvest moon games have essentially just removed the mines completely and that's bullshiit
The mines were always one of my favourite part sof the older harvest moon games
I do, of course, blame @TrentHawkins
 
@Wipqozn whaaaaaaaat
@Wipqozn It now has multiple mines
 
@fredley it always had two, didn't it?
one in the town and one in the desert
