Q: Don't Need To Migrate Mojang Account But Still can't upload skin

As said on Minecraft.net, if you log in with a user you need to migrate your account so you can change your skin, if you log in with an email, you do not. I log in with an email and yet, when I try to upload a skin, it won't let me. When I try to upload/change my skin, it asks me to enter my emai...

Q: Can I play Metroid Prime for Wii U just using gamepad?

Or is it wiimote + nunchack required?

Play of the Game

@Sterno I got impatient.

Staring at or showing butts seems to be the new POTG thing

@Chippies That's hilarious

@Sterno Sorry about your cat, I know what that's like

@Wipqozn and nsfw

1:23 PM

puffup.club

@Sterno That really sucks man. My family has had to put two cats down in the past two years, and it's not easy.

@GnomeSlice if I get flagged for it, I'll think it's hilariously stupid, but I won't argue against it

some things are more nsfw than others and I would assume this is on the lower end of that range

@GnomeSlice I don't think that's NSFW at all

I can see why you might think that, though.

Wow, he didn't even need to ult for that POTG

@twobugs PRetty sure he was ulted. Look at his gun.

1:26 PM

@twobugs from what I can tell, a lot of Tjorborns (is that his name?) PotG's are just him running around doing nothing while the turret murders stuff

yeah also a bunch of ult

@Chippies A lot of torbs are bad at the game, too.

@Wipqozn it's literally somebody crouching and trying to look up Widowmaker's skirt for 15 seconds

Oh, only at the start

He's not crouching

That's just Torb's eyepoint

He is very short

@twobugs he did crouch at a few points in the gif though

Turret placement is important, but playing torb isn't about sitting aorund babying your turret. You're fully capable of killing folks, so you should be doing that. More importantyl you should be picking up scrap and making armor.

1:27 PM

> Oh look there's fucking torbajorn jerking off in the corner while his turret kills my whole team

lmao

Torb is actually a really well designed character I think he's just sort of a pubstomper like Bastion

People seem to have a big problem with turrets

@twobugs I rather engage bastion than a Tjorborn turret tbh

@GnomeSlice To be honest I don't really feel like arguing with you about this right now. I think we established long ago that you just don't understand what's NSFW and what isn't. There is some subjectivity to it, and it wouldn't hurt if @Chippies put a NSF label ont hat, but I personallydon't think it's needed. If it was a real person? Yes. If it wasn't such a cartoonish character? Yes. But I just don't thinkthis crosses lin.

k

Grepping my entire C drive. What could possibly go wrong?

1:29 PM

In fact if it was someone tyring to look up the skirt of someone in RL I'd flag it even if it was marked NSFW actually, since I'd bel ike "dude wtf that's never cool"

as I said, if you think it's nsfw, feel free to flag it, I won't argue against it as I do completely agree that it is somewhere on the nsfw scale

the nsfw scale varies from person to person though, and to me it seems like this gif would be acceptable for most people

@Chippies Super low on the scale, maybe. but as we've already established NSFW is subjective, and there's no hard otr fast rules about it.

I don't have a problem with it

Q: Do Epic Buildings add any extra value or population to my city?

Other than providing token parts, does creating Epic Buildings add any extra population boost or value to my city in any way?

simcity-buildit

@GnomeSlice Video games just don't work well on Kickstater. Too many have been funded and failed.

@Lazers2.0 The idea of "Epic buildings" seems very unfitting for SimCity

@MBraedley A lot have funded and succeeded too, though.

I really hope these fraud charges about Trump U stick to Trump and have a serious impact on the election. That's impossible because Trump is never accountable for anything, but I want to believe.

1:37 PM

@GnomeSlice I'd have to see the numbers, but I'd be surprised if more than half of funded games have fullfilled everything they've promised. Star Citizen hasn't done that yet, and it's one of the "most successfull" games on Kickstarter.

They won't, look how much Hillary's email thing has impacted the election @twobugs

And that's to say nothing of the games that weren't funded.

kickstarter.com/projects/774101425/tower-of-samsara?ref=48hr

also failed :(

(probably)

@MBraedley I should really pay more attention to how Star Citizen is coming along but ugh

user image

1:39 PM

Pfft, star citizen

@Waterseas That's actually had a big impact I think

Bernie is just not pressing it, Republicans are.

I mean, Republicans are STILL going after Clinton for Benghazi. And there was no wrongdoing on her part there.

After like what a dozen committees on that?

Pretty much

There was a really telling thing where someone slipped up and said "We're really trying to pin something on her" in an interview

The only people who really cared are those who were going to vote against her anyways

@Waterseas I KickStarted it because @Unionhawk didn't tell @OrigamiRobot (RIP in peace) to tell me to back Elite: Dangerous instead and I blame both of them, so I figure I should at least pay some attention

Q: What effects does being on the high ground have?

I'm going to hope there is some benefit to being on higher ground but I'm not sure what. how much does elevation increase affect? if there is any benefit to say shooting from behind the hill. How close does the enemy have to be to lose the benefit? Are there any benefits?

warhammer-total-war

Fair

@TimStone I hope you weren't like some of those people who diverted their life savings to Star Citizen

EVERSPACE™ Alpha Gameplay Trailer

the only space game I need

hopefully

"Where we're going, son, we don't need college"

@twobugs I mean, I backed it at far too much money, but not life-savings money

I also backed Might No. 9 because of Ben Brocka, so my conclusion is to never but always listen to the rest of you

Hmm, although actually now that I think about it it was probably someone in here's fault that I backed Star Citizen too

I should run for mod so I can ban you all

1:52 PM

You can already do that

Only in chat!

Just, not on site

Mighty No. 9 is just... well, I've very glad I didn't back it

Tweeted by mashable on June 1, 2016 at 10:25 AM

The 3D models look very silly

1:53 PM

@TimStone Well, it was certainly a surprise

Indeed

It's been delayed several times and the videos they've put out so far were really groan inducing

Actually the only thing that I've backed that I can remember someone in here suggesting that I'm not disappointed in is shockingly something ~~@Wipqozn~~ @Unionhawk can take credit for

I think, anyway

I only backed Pillars of Eternity and I'm satisfied with that

Meanwhile, on Joel on Software software

1:58 PM

user image

not including all the ones I backed that didn't complete though, so didn't get my money

user image

and those all still got made anyway

mostly

Super Motherload o.o

Yeah

they failed their kickstarter, but I guess they just went out and got a publisher

Super Motherload was so lame compared to the old Motherload :/

Yeah it didn't grab me as much either

I think Sony published them on Playstation platforms

2:02 PM

not sure why, it had everything the original had and more

Dunno who did it for PC

@GnomeSlice the physics felt weird

Atlas Reactor open Beta weekend June 3 - 6

the old one felt a lot more responsive and snappy

there was more weight to your digger

I never played Motherload but I tried that Steamworld Dig game

2:04 PM

totally different

I liked the art but it just didn't grab me

@GnomeSlice Ah, ok

Well that's interesting

@twobugs well, not totally I guess

same basic goal

The idea is similar, but the execution is completely different and it makes all the difference

@fredley please notice I use the exact quantity of characters allowed, it's no accident

2:05 PM

I see. I think I heard people describe them both as "dig-o-vanias" so I assumed they were similar

@juanformoso Somebody knows this game inside out already

Man, with all these quality candidates stepping up I feel like there's no point for me

@juanformoso Although you didn't use a link-shortener, -1

Link...shartener?

@twobugs they are quite similar, but the way the game plays is different, even if under all of it, it's pretty much the same game

also Steamworld Dig had more story, I think

2:07 PM

@twobugs ugh

whereas Motherload was more about exploring to the bottom of the planet

Now I want to go and make a link shartener (in the vein of shadyurl.com)

Shadyurl is cool

lol

@twobugs ikr

2:10 PM

@fredley wait what

OUR CREATOR IS RISEN

4

The more I read about Trump U the more I'm really offended

This was a straight up predatory for-profit university that basically robbed people

I honestly have no idea what's going to happen now.

@fredley And he's not aiming to eat our brains!

@Wipqozn I know

2:11 PM

A previous mod rerunning completely mixes things up.

@twobugs You imply that's different than normal

@Wipqozn ~ DRAMA ~

@Wipqozn Yeah, this is now nuts

why is that?

@fredley You can't fool me

2:12 PM

@juanformoso I think this is unprecedented

what did I miss?

@MBraedley :(

where's kalina? :P

@juanformoso socks

@juanformoso You nominated yourself to be a moderator

2:12 PM

@PrivatePansy It's not sort of. @Oak was an ex-mod who ran, and got elected.

@juanformoso She pops by every now and again

@Waterseas I'm not aware of other ones that pressure people into taking loans against their apartments and using their disability payments for tuition

@juanformoso She stopped using the site for the most part after the last election.

@Wipqozn Wasn't that just a beta temp mod thing?

@twobugs Was joking/making a statement about tuition costs : p

2:13 PM

@PrivatePansy oh maye

yeah I think you're right, he was a beta mod

@Wipqozn protem

protems all have to stand for election if they want to continue being mods

I'm really curious how this will go.

@Wipqozn me too

Oak did fairly well when ran, but he also ended up stepping down, so folks might not be willing to relect an ex mod now. Man this is nuts.

I honestly have no idea who I'm voting for no

Trump U is just disgusting. I hope Trump gets destroyed for this

2:14 PM

He won't.

all I want is to be able to ban people again... is that too much to ask?

7

before it was going to be @Wipqozn , @Robotnik, and @Unionhawk

@Unionhawk I know, but this is absolutely horrible

Now I need to consider this @juanformoso guy

@juanformoso At least we'll be able to work out your final score now

2:15 PM

I mean, it's like all of his other construction projects where he manipulates the laws to make the local/state governments foot the bill for construction projects he abandons immediately afterwards

But this is directly preying on people

oooh I remember you stepping down

@Sterno That was Dead or Alive 5.

Newly Opened Proposals for Entertainment

1

Proposed Q&A site for models of all levels

Currently in definition.

I think I accidentally breathed in some of the curry from my instant noodle seasoning, and now my nose feels funny

@Fluttershy I don't know what we're talking about

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment cc @Frank

@twobugs lol

Q: What are the crucial differences to the other games of the Total War series?

As the title suggests, I would like to know the crucial differences between the new title of the series and the elder ones. I know that the elder titles aren't all the same and I can't formulate the question perfectly, but Total War: Warhammer probably has multiple innovations towards the other ...

warhammer-total-war

@PrivatePansy try smelling actual curry. That is even worse.

@Lazers2.0 Someone VTC'd this as "opinion based" and I Strongly Disagree with that

2:23 PM

user image

I think it has problems and is basically a game rec

But I don't see how asking about mechanics is an opinion

This is real, and it's in Singapore

user image

user image

And I want to go soooo bad

But the queue on opening day was 7 hours long

Wat is this place?

2:27 PM

Pokémon Pop Up Cafe in Singapore

I want ittttttt

Singapore sounds great. Aside from the whole blazing heat and air pollution thing

Isn't the air pollution mainly due to external factors, anyway?

I don't know much about the Total War games, but my understanding is that 'Warhammer Total War' would be almost as different from 'Rome: Total War' as it is from Candy Crush.
Wouldn't it be the same as saying "What are the differences between Portal and Half Life?" Same engine, separate games etc etc

I'm doing something crazy: I'm attempting to merge two code branches. In SVN.

@twobugs Yeah. There's no pollution for about 48-50 out of 52 weeks every year

2:30 PM

@Robotnik I dunno, I think it's about things changing. Maybe it's the same engine, but I assume there are several Warhammer specific mechanics

@MBraedley That's a trap

It's really the same series, too

@twobugs Yeah like I said I don't know enough about the games themselves to vote or make a decision either way so I'll leave it up to others. It's either on topic as relevant to the [version-differences] tag or off-topic as 'Gorilla vs Shark', but certainly not 'opinion based' as you said in the comment :)

I don't know anything about Total War Warhammer, but you raised some good considerations :)

Get your steam games on GOG, for free

(limited time offer and limited library of games ofc)

2:40 PM

Is it actually called Total War Warhammer?

wtf

Not Total Warhammer?

Guys, I just switched into mobile mode somehow

Total War: Hammer?

Any idea how I get back?

2:40 PM

@fredley sega english for you

@twobugs Blazing heat though is absolutely real

@SaintWacko Buy a new computer?

Oh, there we go

@fredley No, because trademarks unfortunately

@PrivatePansy ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

2:40 PM

Ahh, I see what happened

Accidentally clicked the tiny "mobile" link in the bottom right corner

@fredley Pretty much, yes. Air conditioning everywhere

The buses are air conditioned. The bus interchanges are air conditioned.

@PrivatePansy I remember from when I went there that there were loads of buildings with specifically sized niches for AC units... which were too small, so the AC units were mounted elsewhere on the structure.

Is AC even a widespread thing in the UK since it's always raining?

@fredley Yes

It's the Total War Series

Total Warhammer was probably shot down with extreme prejudice by the marketing people

@fredley Oh yes. Some of the government apartments are quite old, and when they change hands the new owners like to install new air conditioning units

Quite sure the very apartment I'm sitting in has the thing you're describing

2:43 PM

@twobugs :(

Naming things is like political cartoons

I'm surprised "Battlefield One" got by

@twobugs Also trademark. Because Total War and Warhammer are both trademarks

So they can't be broken up and joined together

@twobugs They make me want to cry?

@fredley Yes

I remember one where it had "THINGS WORLD LEADERS HAVE DONE" and for Kim Jung Un it was a missile and for Obama it was an iPhone

That was a Good Cartoon, but probably not for the reasons the artist intended

The slot for the air conditioning was only meant for a single room unit, but as Singapore got wealthier most families nowadays install a compressor and a unit for each room

2:45 PM

@Frank Birthright had a better story than Conquest, right?

And of course the compressor can't fit into the tiny one-room AC slot

Dammit @Yuuki I thought I was making progress on my backlog

Stop reminding me of games

2

:D

@Sterno You asked what game that was with the $700 costume DLC.

We're getting SMT4: Apocalypse so I should really finish SMT4, too

2:48 PM

Aaaaand I just hit the chandelier while stretching.

But it's been so long that I basically need to restart that game

Being tall is the worst

3

@GraceNote gg economy class

I have absolutely no idea why so many people want to be tall like me. It's horrible

I want to pick up a 3DS game, but I have no clue what to choose.

@Yuuki Bravely Second?

2:50 PM

I am average height, and I can say it's pretty great. Everything is designed to be the right size for me

I'm like 195cm. It's pretty neat

Or whatever it's called

@twobugs 6' 4"

I'm 5' 11"

The downside to Bravely Second is it's apparently like all of the other games by that dev and is just twice as long as it needs to be with forced backtracking/padding

(Note: I haven't played it, got really burned out on Default for that reason)

@fredley 180cm is average, huh

2:51 PM

@twobugs So it did inherit its problems from the first one?

@twobugs Exactly, I'm wary of Second because of Default.

@Yuuki And 4 heroes of light!

@PrivatePansy For the UK. Maybe a little above

I had fun up until the looping started.

I'm 185cm, and I'm quite sure I'm at least in the 90th to 95th height percentile here

I'm somewhere between "Barely taller than fredley" and "Barely shorter than fredley"

2:51 PM

They've basically done the same thing in every game they released, from my understanding

Asians are shoooooooooooooort

The battles were fun in Default, though

@PrivatePansy Can believe that

@PrivatePansy How I wish I kept that

@AshleyNunn I just found this and I think you may be interested too.

2:53 PM

Throughout my entire time in school, we had a chart that shows the percentile distribution for boys and girls at each age

I got the promotion I was going for! And a small raise! \o/

My height since 9 was always above the 99th percentile line

@Fluttershy \o/

user15026

@Yuuki that looks like fun!

I've been mistaken for university undergrads when I was in secondary school

2:54 PM

@Fluttershy Yay!

user15026

@Fluttershy yaaaaaay! That is super excellent!

@AshleyNunn I'm thinking about picking it up if you want to wait and see.

@Fluttershy woop

user15026

@Yuuki let me know how it is. :)

@Yuuki So I've heard.

I'm only up to Chapter 10 in Conquest.

2:54 PM

@PrivatePansy Ah, see I'm at the height where everyone is like "Wow, you're tall... you should play basketball!" But I'm well below the average height for NBA players :P

@twobugs There's some ridiculous statistic along the lines of "If you're a man in the US and you're taller than h, you have a 1 / n chance of playing in the NBA", for quite a low value of n.

To be fair, I think you can say that for anyone for certain values of h

Ah, got it. h is 7', n is 5.

To be fair, there was also the NBA star Muggsy Bogues who was 5'3"

(I only know he exists because of the hit documentary Space Jam)
