Q: old xbox game update

Angel SaavedraI recently got an xbox from 2009/10 and I bought black ops III for it. However, I can not seem to play the game. The first time I put the disk in it prompted me that an update was necessary and I selected update (My xbox is not connected to the internet nor do I have an xbox live account) after t...

 
@twobugs i wrote you in for one of the propositions: Yes [] No [] twobugs [x]
 
@twobugs well, im not sure two bugs can be nominated for president, i think one of them will have to run for vice president and the other can run for president
 
@Dragonrage the first bug co-presidents. let's make history, y'all

Mmm... salsa verde is delicious.

Sony changed the online ps store so now it shows you how much the PS+ games would of cost

Q: How did this Mercy get 104% Kill Participation?

TrattoThey didn't really do anything but heal and buff players as needed. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is Genji's reflect.

Q: Why Isn't this Valid Housing? [Terraria PC]

Ninjalover216 I was recently playing Terraria on my ...

 
@StrixVaria PS+ has been awful lately
Back before PS4 you used to get like... multiple full price games for free a month + sales
Now it's 1-2 indie games per platform (some gems of course, but lots of stuff I'd played 1+ years ago on PC)
Games with Gold ends up being way better, but even that is lackluster
I just miss old PS+ :(
 
I wish it were an NHL, Fifa, or even Madden game, rather than NBA.
Like almost any other sport.
Would at least have been remotely appealing.
 
NBA2k16 is the one that Spike Lee directed, too
 
what
 
5:20 PM
The story mode, at least
 
Story mode ok.
 
I still have questions
 
That 53 minutes on Widowmaker is significantly more than I thought I had
I can never play Genji or Roadhog or it'll break my 100% win percentage with them
 
Apparently the story revolves around your and your twin brother who is always black even if you make your guy white
IIRC You both have really silly names
It just sounds silly as hell but I guess they're trying
 
... Some games don't need story mode.
Still green sauce is sooo good.
 
5:32 PM
Despite the fact that some games need a story mode?
 
Some games need story mode. Some games do not. Granted, that's almost definitely subjective.
 
We have a Minecraft story mode, how about modded Minecr- is shot
 
Because telltale games are meh
 
Yeah I talked about them in my stream last night but I've never liked them much
 
I don't play a lot of sports games and I don't see why they should have story mode when a season mode should be good enough.
But that's me.
 
5:34 PM
They have a bunch of different teams of wildly varying quality
For example they somehow made a Jurassic Park game boring
I mean sure, Trespasser, but let's not talk about that
 
Telltale games are hilarious

Q: Building Mei's ice wall on top of another one

user132016In overwatch, Mei can build an ice wall. Let's say that there's more than one Mei's in a team, is it possible to build another ice wall on top of an ice wall?

 
@twobugs were telltale the ones that made that weird game where it was like you were filming a movie about jurassic park?
that game was terrible
 
Pokemon Snap?
 
Pokémon Snap was amazinggggg
 
5:42 PM
@GnomeSlice found it, it was by telltale
Jurassic Park: The Game is an episodic graphic adventure based on the Jurassic Park film franchise. The game was developed by Telltale Games as part of a licensing deal with Universal Pictures. The plot of the game takes place during and after the plot of the first film. The game was originally announced in June 2010 before being revealed in the February issue of Game Informer. The first episode was expected for release in April 2011, but was pushed back to November 15 along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release, resulting in a multi-platform release with all four episodes at once. ��2�...
pokemon snap was much better
 
We need Pokémon Snap 2 already
 
Pokémon Snap did basically take place in Jurassic Park though
Or at least, some pokemon safari
 
well, during the course of the election process so far, my score has gone up 5 points.
 
yeah, but back in n64 days where that sort of thing was acceptable
 
And fairly innovative
 
5:44 PM
Also, VGM mixes is officially my favorite coding music category and I need to expand my library
 
"Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word..."
"Pikachu... I CHOOSE YOU!"
 
I'm glad the entire extent of the Undertale community is making good music
And literally nothing else
 
i mean the jurassic park games on gameboy and SNES were super fun back in the day
 
It's really weird
Not counting the pronz @Unionhawk ?
 
AND LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE

Q: Will my explorer's happiness level affect his quest?

Srikumar Krishna IyerI accidentally sent my Explorer on a quest when his happiness level was 10%. Now even after 22 hours he is still at the same level. My doubt is whether I have spoiled his otherwise successful quest. Pls clarify!

 
@GodEmperorDune Did you ever play trespasser?
 
@Lazers2.0 you must really have pissed that guy off
@twobugs nah, never played it
 
You should look it up. It's really interesting.
Jurassic Park FPS that would have been revolutionary if not for the development hell
 
yeah i'm checking out all the old jurassic park games on wikipedia
 
5:49 PM
Ended up this weird, jumbled mess
 
they had a jurassic park RTS, wow
 
I'm now imagining a squad strategy jurrasic park game
you know, xcom but with dinosaurs
 
@Unionhawk "clever girl"
 
In fact, XCOM But With Dinosaurs would be a pretty good name for it
 
@Unionhawk eXtinctCOM
 
5:51 PM
I like my name better
It gets the point across
 
yeah, but lawsuits
 
We just need to pitch the idea to firaxis games
DUH
 
D.I.N.O.C.O.M.
 
@twobugs zomg yes
 
5:53 PM
Destroy Irate Nazi Or Crazy Otherwise Monsters
 
Who said anything about Nazi dinosaurs?
Other than that one source game that exists?
 
@Unionhawk godwin did
 
yes there is a world war 2 source engine game that has dinosaurs
 
Goodwin's Law - There will be, at some point, someone who misspells "Godwin" when in a conversation about Nazi dinosaurs.
 
Okay, well how about you come up with a better acronym

@GodEmperorDune @ardaozkal I'm not withdrawing; I just thought the message was funny.
 
@GodEmperorDune Unlike @uni, I am not a monster.
 
If I was withdrawing I would've done it before answering all the questions :D
 
lol, just got a mail
"Dear {NAME} {SURNAME}"
 
6:03 PM
"The people calling me out on racist behavior are the REAL RACISTS!" - Donald Trump
 
@twobugs What's the actual quote?
 
@twobugs I don't know the circumstances here, but reverse racism is most definitely a thing.
 
"Reverse racism"
 
wat
 
6:05 PM
@Ronan “The people asking the questions — those are the racists,” Trump said. “I would go at ’em.”
 
Reverse racism is a phenomenon in which discrimination, sometimes officially sanctioned, against a dominant or formerly dominant racial or other group representative of the majority in a particular society takes place, for a variety of reasons, often initially as an attempt at redressing past wrongs. It has been described as "preferential treatment, discriminating in favor of members of under-represented groups, which have been treated unjustly in the past, against innocent people". The usage of the term is controversial, with many groups (especially those concerning the interests of ethnic...
 
@Yuuki I was damned close at bursting into laughter at that second sentence
 
Basically, a judge rules against Trump U (the hilariously fraudulent scam). Trump says judge is Mexican, despite the Judge being a natural born American citizen
According to Trump, the judge is unfit to preside over this case because the judge has Mexican ancestry and Trump is trying to build a wall
 
tldr: "UR RACIST! NO UR RACIST! NO U! U!!!"
 
@badp Well the difference is Trump is literally playing the race card to begin with
 
6:08 PM
Literally
 
If you have any legal basis for saying a judge can't preside over a case, you're supposed to do it before the case begins. Not after the verdict doesn't agree with you
 
@twobugs but you don't understand. the judge is a mexican and a hater
 
@twobugs I guess you could make the argument to an appeals court that during the trial it became clear to you that the judge was biased.
but Trump is doing what he always does. he doesn't believe anything he's saying, he just knows there's millions of people stupid to believe it for him
 
@KutuluMike that's not a legal argument though. Judges have to provide reasoning with a decision. you can critique the reasoning if you want, but you can't critique an imaginary reasoning, and i highly doubt that the judge put in his reasoning something like "i decide this way because i hate donald trump"
 
Cool our email server is dead
 
6:18 PM
@twobugs is your mail server a hater
 
Yes
 
> "So being a little racist or very racist is not OK, but, quite frankly, the agenda that I see and all the microtargeting to blacks and Hispanics from a policy standpoint, you know, that's more offensive to me, what I have seen through the years, than this one statement which I don't believe is a result of Donald Trump feeling like he is superior because he's white and not Mexican," Zeldin said.
wat
why is it that whenever obama does something that helps people (you know, what politicans are supposed to do, help the people in return for their votes) it is seen as a nefarious thing?
 
@GodEmperorDune I think it's not racism, but a calculated move.
 
@Ronan but it is an expected move
you are supposed to do that
 
@Waterseas wait, there is more than one sentence there?
 
6:21 PM
@GodEmperorDune Supposed?
 
The second intended sentence XD
 
@Ronan when i vote for a politician, i am voting for someone who will represent me and do policy things that benefit me (or the country as a whole)
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh, that quote was confusing.
Zeldin was saying that they find it offensive when things are done to reduce the systemic racism in the US?
 
@GodEmperorDune It would be wonderful if there were a politician who actually did that.
 
@Ronan i don't even know if the policies he is referring to are trying to reduce system racism at all. A lot of times they slam policies (such as welfare) that are designed to help poor people of all races and are in fact used more by whites than non-whites
 
6:27 PM
@GodEmperorDune Yeah I know. But that's what they were saying?
 
@Ronan he didn't specify which policies he sees are "microtargeting to blacks and Hispanics" and i'm a bit wary of researching that further

Q: What does TL;DR mean?

Rudolf L. JelínekVery often I find TL;DR in a post. It's usually in bold or like a title. What does it mean? Where should it be used?

 
@SepiaLazers Is this irony? Someone asking what TL:DR means that didn't Google it...
 
@John What does LMGTFY mean?
 
@Ronan let me get that for you. its a nice sentiment
 
6:36 PM
@Ronan very meta. much wow
 
@Ronan Leery Magnetic Geosynchronous Targeting For Youths. The robot apocalypse has begun and they're starting with our children.
 
@GodEmperorDune I always thought it was Google.
 
@Ronan oh the google one? its Lookit Mah Google! Then F*ck You!
 
@Yuuki wasn't that the mosquito annoying sound things?
 
I just applied for a job in Kansas City. Maybe I'll hang out with @Uni sometime.
pulls up Google Maps
That's a lot of construction on that freeway.
 
6:45 PM
You have the wrong person?
 
Kansas City is not close to Ohio
 
 
8 hours
Ah
 
@twobugs Dude, I live in Texas.
 
Straight down 70
 
6:46 PM
I mean, yeah... it's closer
 
Yeah 70 is a nightmare
 
@Yuuki You're moving to the showbiz capital of the US?
 
KC has fiber at least!
 
@Ronan Not moving right now. Just applied to job. If I get it, then I'll move.
 
@Yuuki You'd be closer to @Fluttershy than @Unionhawk.
 
6:46 PM
Google Fiber!
@StrixVaria Just like how @Fluttershy is closer to modship than @Unionhawk?
OH WHAAAAAAT
 
W O W
 
A 9 hour drive is meh for Texas. I used to do it all the time.
 
DID YOU JUST
 
@Yuuki You going to do some acting?
 
@Ronan Nah, dev work for the Federal Reserve Bank.
 
6:47 PM
@Yuuki I drove 3.5 hours away this past weekend and it felt like I was driving forever.
 
what's that in?
 
Y'all need to stop taking me seriously.
 
I also had to fill my gas in NY which meant I had to do it myself and I had no idea what I was doing.
 
@Yuuki good luck!
 
@StrixVaria wat
 
6:48 PM
@StrixVaria wait- people doesn't always fill their gas in US?
 
wut
 
@StrixVaria That wouldn't even get you from Houston to Dallas.
 
goddamn hollywood
 
@GodEmperorDune In New Jersey, drivers are not legally allowed to pump their own gas.
You have to have an attendant do it.
 
wait, what?
D:
 
6:49 PM
@djsmiley2k Union.
 
i don't even drive, and I know how o_O
 
So whenever I go out of state and have to pump gas myself it sucks.
 
@Yuuki a cousin of mine that i met once is a business analyst for the fed. say hello if you run into her
 
@fredley it's when you say you will share the post, but you actually don't
 
suddenly the idea that trump might lead your nation is starting to make sense D:
 
6:50 PM
@StrixVaria do they have the requirement of having to have a licensed driver pump gas?
 
@StrixVaria I bet gas prices are much higher there
 
@Chippies second lowest in the country
 
@Chippies They're lower, because NJ has one of the main seaports where it comes into the country.
@Dragonrage No, the attendant has to do it.
The driver isn't allowed to pump gas.
 
IIRC the only state with cheaper gas is Alaska, which actually pumps oil out of the ground
 
@KutuluMike Do you have to pump it yourself?
 
6:51 PM
When out-of-state people get out of their car to start pumping gas, the attendant runs over flailing his arms and yelling.
 
only in New Jersey and Oregon
 
@StrixVaria is the attendant required to have a valid drivers license?
 
Pumping gas is easy, but boring. You put the pointy thing in the car and pull the trigger and hold it. You'd think Americans would know how to pull a trigger
2
 
@Dragonrage Probably not.
 
@KutuluMike Stop not getting my jokes!
 
6:51 PM
@Dragonrage no. you do not have to know how to drive to pump gas. you just have to know how to pump gas.
@Ronan meh. your jokes are ~50 years old.
 
@StrixVaria in california, only licensed drivers can pump gas iirc
 
so a gas attendant from NJ in cali, who can't drive, can't pump?
this is lols
 
@Dragonrage And it's probably something you learn to do when learning to drive, so that makes sense.
 
how would you learn?
 
6:53 PM
I was never taught how to do it (not that it's difficult), so it took me a while like trying to read instructions off the pump.
 
you can't learn to do something you're not allowed to do.
 
I'm pretty sure you can watch the attendant pump gas and learn that way.
 
I couldn't get the lever thing to clasp either so I had to hold it the whole time. I felt like a jerk.
 
in a patrical way
@Yuuki yeah, i added something :P
 
I'm not even sure if I've seen instructions on a gas pump and I've never been taught how to do it... I wonder if it's like, something non-NJ people pass it on through DNA or something
 
6:54 PM
@StrixVaria A friend of mine from NJ came down to visit me, and she was super excited when realized what that little slot inside the gas tank door was for.
 
@KutuluMike I'm not sure what slot you're talking about.
 
@Chippies Eh, it's just follow the instructions on the screen.
 
@StrixVaria I'm not even sure if all pumps can be locked down, and if they can, I have no idea how to do it either :P
 
@Chippies Can confirm- I'm not from NJ and I know how to pump gas. (and it is illegal to pump without attendant here in turkey too).
 
@StrixVaria that may not have been you; I know a lot of stations disable those clasps to avoid spills
 
6:54 PM
@Yuuki you're assuming there's screens
 
Unless gas pumps a lot different outside of Texas and Oklahoma, I don't know what's so hard about learning how to fuel up.
 
@KutuluMike That's good to know at least.
@Yuuki It wasn't hard so much as it was lame that I had to do it myself.
And it took a few extra minutes because of me not having done it ever before.
 
@StrixVaria when outta state is all like
 
That is fairly accurate.
 
considering that pumping gas only requires a hole, a nozzle and one lever that you hold, it shouldn't be very hard to figure out how to work it
 
6:56 PM
:)
 
hmmmmmmm pretty sure we don't have that over hre :/
 
@KutuluMike What is that for?
 
...
 
i presume it holds the pump
it'll hold the trigger so that it keeps pumping
 
6:57 PM
@StrixVaria Wait... does your car not have one?
 
@StrixVaria it holds the cap
 
That's unsafe
 
oooooooo
errr
 
Your car will explode
 
caps here are attached to the car physically
 
6:57 PM
Right... NOW!
 
because people nick em XD
 
@twobugs I have no idea because I've opened my gascap once ever and didn't look around for a plastic thing I wouldn't know to look for.
The gas cap was tethered to the car, though.
It just kind of dangled there.
 
@djsmiley2k yeah, but instead of dangling on the side of your car, you can stick it there
 
@StrixVaria yup this.
@Chippies cept there isn't one.
 
Yeah that's how mine have been, I've never seen that holder thing
 
6:58 PM
i guess it makes it easier to forget.
tho it is funny when someone drives off.... with the pump
 
@djsmiley2k weird, ours has one (a lot less fancy looking) and it's also tethered
it's just two metal thingies where you can put the cap between and it stays there
tbh I don't even know if that's what it's for, but it works for it and that's what I use it for
 
it's better than dangling it on the side of the car and risk scratching the car
@KutuluMike is it normal for the cap to not be tethered to the car?
 
depends on the car. 50/50 in my experience
but my cap has a tether and still has a holder
 
7:00 PM
now that I think about it, I have seen untethered caps on some cars from early 90s in Latvia...
but I didn't pay much attention back then, so idk
 
also that cap has no key?
:/
Do people not syphon fuel there?
 
@djsmiley2k opens from inside of the car
 
I've actually never seen a car with a key on the gas cap, though I know they exist
 
@KutuluMike I think it's a European thing
 
There are some where it ties to the door lock
I think my car does
 
7:01 PM
I have seen ones that have no handle and open from inside the driver's door
but you can still pry them open if you tried.
 
there are too many stars in the election chat, its breaking porkchat
 
@djsmiley2k Here, the door that opens to the gas cap can't be opened from the outside.
You have to pop it from inside the car.
 
@StrixVaria i see
they say that about car doors too lol
 
@StrixVaria you could if you wanted to, there's nothing really "locking" it, in most cases.
and that's practically a luxury item
most low-end models it's just a normal door w/ a handle
 
7:02 PM
@djsmiley2k a lock doesn't stop someone that really wants to get through either
 
I know back during the gas crisis in the 70s people would siphon gas from other people's cars... it's not something you hear about these days
except maybe as a prank
 
@KutuluMike Well, and many cars have the gas cap releases located near the drivers seat.
 
7:19 PM
wow so that's fun
One of my pills causing explosive... funtimes D:
 
@twobugs did I read that you are in Ohio? Or was that Uni?
 
O.o what is this conversation
 
7:35 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz i watched the first episode of veep. it is fantastic
 
@TimS. He's Ohio
 
@GodEmperorDune it really does elevate profanity to an art form.
Also, Gary is amazing because he's basically Buster Bluth after growing up be getting a real job.
 
I should watch that show
 
@twobugs Cool.. I'll have to ping him. I'll be driving back there next week.

Q: How to get Nabbit to come back in New Super Mario Bros U

TreeHouseFalconI've seem to lost Nabbit on my world map. I have 4 stars on my save file so far but I need to catch Nabbit to get the 5th one.

yeah, I actually just started downloading Skyrim again
why's the thumbnail not loading?
I'm so confused right now
 
@PeterDavidCarter-Poulsen I'd suggest against going fishing for questions. It's disengenuous at best.
 
@MBraedley what about answers?
 
8:00 PM
such dust, wow
 
@PeterDavidCarter-Poulsen If you find a question that you think you can answer, then by all means answer it.
 
Generally, it's pretty easy to garner rep here. Just play games, and ask questions about them. Unless they're glaringly obvious or no effort, you'll get upvotes.
 
@MBraedley but in what games am I likely to find answers?
@MBraedley apart from Minecraft
 
Terraria
But most of those are well answered
 
I played Terraria for AGES (a lot with a non-steam version too)
bit bored of it now
 
8:06 PM
I should read over the moderator responses and maybe revise my votes a bit
 
Loveee Terraria
 
and not sure if I'd be able to generate legit questions about it
 
So excited for Terraria: Otherworld
 
yeah, tis awesome and all
 
@PeterDavidCarter-Poulsen I can't tell you that at the moment because the main site is blocked for me at work. You can search for questions that don't have any answers relatively easily.
 
8:06 PM
@MBraedley that's actually a pretty good idea
 
It is easily the best way of getting some quick rep, as long as the asker is still active.
 
I don't really want to get rep for the sake of rep
but... I dunno, I feel like I should have a little bit more rep now, for some reason
not sure why
it's just numbers really
 
That's me in the board and card games SE, but don't have the motivation/others are faster than I

Yet another example of Trump failing to understand How Things Work:
> "Can you believe it?" Trump asked the crowd at a rally here Wednesday evening. "Think of it: They moved the PGA Tour — moved the World Golf Championship — from Miami, where they're furious, to Mexico City. Not good."
> If I become your president, this stuff is all going to stop."
 
ALL OLYMPICS IN AMERICA TOO
 
I mean, embargos are things that exist
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wanted to embargo Mexico

you can earn that double-team?

@fredley Lol I just earned 2 more on Arqade
I wonder if that impacts my modscore
 
8:36 PM
@Unionhawk Same here
 
Probably not since it probably just checks User.hasMarshal or something
 
@Waterseas as I understand it, there are multiple Cabinet-level positions with the authority to implement embargos, so he could actually pull that off.
 
Yep
It's a bit dumb
 
my new silver Arqade badge is more shiny than I'm used to badges being
what do it mean?
 
newly minted
 
user15026
Different sites have different badge designs
 
I'm always surprised how few people vote, given the number of users we have
 
few people dare
 
600 so far
Wait, can everyone see that or just mods?
 
Mods I think
 
8:46 PM
just the trusted people
 
@fredley I don't think I can see that
 
didnt we only have like 600 last election?
 
@fredley mods only
 
@fredley I-I think that we should run a turing test on Jon Skeet.
