Q: Minecraft - How to Horizontally Flip a Build?

Zizo TronSo I have made a little build and then copied it. I am trying to find a way to horizontally flip it so that it is symmetrical to the other side, but I cannot do that with world edit. Here is the build to give you an idea - (the right side is a copy of the left side) I've tried googling for ot...

@quartata which server are you on?
it's possible that it blocks federation with gnusoc instances
 
No I mean in browser
Maybe it's not, like, a forward facing instance? But how am I supposed to follow then

Q: How to know if my IP is banned on Mojang

bananamenMojang is banning public proxies from signing in (since 2017 I think), but is it possible to know if my IP is banned on Mojang without trying to log in?

@Memor-X yuup. We get that out on Lake Manitoba. Used to be a fairly reliable outbreak that lasted a week or so, but the flood of 2011 disrupted their cycle, and now it's several times throughout the summer. The cycle seems to be returning to 'normal', but it's a slow year-by-year process.
(Also, in some areas the swarms are so big that they futz with weather radars.)
 
4:01 AM
@TrentHawkins probably makes the radar think it is a snow storm
don't think we've had anything as bad in Australia, or atleast in Victoria
probably a good thing given that we seem to always one up everything so that it's more deadly or hellish
like maybe a "snowstorm" of March Flies
 
4:20 AM
@Memor-X Yeah - they're gross and annoying, but at least the worst they do is accidentally fly into your mouth because the air is 10% bug. I assume Australia's take on this phenomenon would involve something that stings and/or bites.
 
@TrentHawkins yep, that's a March Fly, bug fat fly with a stinger which after you're bitten leave an ichy mark which is worse than a mosquito bite
Horse-flies or horseflies (for other names, see common names) are true flies in the family Tabanidae in the insect order Diptera. They are often large and agile in flight, and the females bite animals, including humans, to obtain blood. They prefer to fly in sunlight, avoiding dark and shady areas, and are inactive at night. They are found all over the world except for some islands and the polar regions. Both horse-flies and botflies (Oestridae) are sometimes referred to as gadflies.Adult horse-flies feed on nectar and plant exudates; the males have weak mouthparts and only the females bite animals...

Q: I lost my house, and I don't know what to do.. (Minecraft)

RoboMaster122So, I was playing Minecraft Creative Mode, and to celebrate the release of 1.13, I was building an aquarium. I used the command /kill @e (which kills every entity there is in the world), so of course it killed me. I forgot to set my spawn before I did that. My spawn is a light year away, so don't...

hey, there's a good way to get rid of every nuke in the world and that's by blowing them up!.....in the Mariana Trench
because apparently it would do fuck all except for being a bad day for whales
also i think we kill off the Kracken in the process
 
Well, that's annoying
Apparently, Minecraft 1.13 won't work on the old launcher
And if they made the new launcher look like the site, then I will be quite sad
 
12:30 PM
@LegionMammal978 i havn't gotten any new version of Minecraft since like version 1.7.10
 
I haven't played Minecraft yet in like 3 years

boss phase 2
this is great
AND ANOTHER BOSS
JUST WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS
wait what
that's no boss
716 winnings
a number that appears nowhere on the interface
 
I found Slay the Spiral to be a bit... easy?
Too luck dependent I guess would be the better word
 
@badp It is early access, it says.
 
As long as you get a few good cards early on you can pretty much steamroll everything
 
@PrivatePansy I guess that's the case with a lot of roguelikes
 
I won on my fourth run with Barricade + Metallicize
@Jutschge I didn't get that feeling with FTL. But FTL was harder.
 
1:00 PM
I beat Binding of Issac on my first run and have yet to return to it
 
@Ronan "beat"
Binding of Isaac unlocks the possibility of doing harder runs by winning runs.

Q: Mew IV is it important

ShaneI just got my Mew and I am starting to power him up. I have now checked his IV. I am wondering if I should worry about it if I want to make a powerful New?

 
@Ronan There's like 10 different end bosses
 
Yeah I know, but I got too lucky so it wasn't particularly fun
 
Also don't really like the unlock system
 
1:01 PM
I don't know the exact mechanics but killing mom the first time is like the tip of the iceberg.
 
The unlocked cards don't feel like sidegrades the way FTL's ships are
Well, except for maybe one or two that were just a bit easier to run with
The Federation Cruiser is really quite powerful
 
@Exeggutor I never really saw the point in a game you're supposed to replay dozens of times with a slightly different character to see the entire story
Even if they're randomly generated
 
@Nzall Binding of Isaac is approximately 0% about story.
 
Well mailchimp is going well
 
People who play it over and over like the core gameplay and wonky item combos.
 
1:03 PM
Yesterday's Daily Climb was kind of hilarious. There was a modifier that made normal enemies drop Relics
 
I tried to send a test to just me and they disabled my account
 
By the end of the run I had about two screenful of it
And there was so many modifiers stacked on top of each other half the time I had no idea what the game was doing
It was fun destroying the final boss without losing a single HP
 
@Exeggutor Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I mean, I still play Civ 5 and 6 from time to time while those have literally no story
It's mainly the stuff where you're playing multiple games in a row to unlock new stuff to use with the idea that once you die you can use it
Games like Nier Automata are different
but just classic roguelikes with high difficulty aren't for me
 
hi mailchimp support I read acceptable use and I don't understand what I did wrong please reenable my account
 
For me the most fun part of Isaac is definitely the item combos.
 
1:10 PM
@Unionhawk At my first job, We had a problem with Mailchimp where we had to send emails on behalf of a client who had collected like 7 or 8 lists of contacts from their various national offices. We originally used Sendgrid, but we switched to Mailchimp, and during the first attempt at using it we found that 20% of the list was undeliverable
 
You can always find out about a weird synergy with certain items
 
@Nzall We're using it because it's free and easy lol
 
so our account got locked down and I could spend the next 3 days going over all the Sendgrid bounced emails to remove them from the various lists
god, that job sucked
 
and helps us comply with gmail spam filter that caught and killed a number of emails we tried to send with a manual large bcc
 
@Unionhawk It's free and easy, yeah, but we just used their mail server, logged into a remote machine on the client's network, then just opened Outlook and sent mails 900 at a time
so that was not at all the intended use case of Mailchimp
 
1:13 PM
Yeah no we're using it to send emails to a large distribution list, mostly collected on paper, but it'll also build us an online sign up form for free so that's cool

Dear greyhound, I didn't need a reminder of why I mostly stopped using you as a thing. (my bus to Woodstock today was 35 min late)
 
1:29 PM
@Unionhawk Yeah, that's pretty much what we did, just collected from various offices
so make sure that the addresses are deliverable enough
Essentially, you want less than 2% of your emails to bounce

Q: Playing together in offline LAN?

DanielQuick question with regards to Dying Light the enhanced edition PS4 console version can I LAN it with my friend offline (separate TVs and consoles) so basically is there anyway to play offline together with separate TVs and consoles but connect to same game obviously.

 
I'm starting a new RPG campaign in a couple of hours with some people who have never played before. I need someone to lie to me and tell me I'm a good GM
 
@Ronan you're a great GM for your age
 
@GodEmperorDune Wow rude.
 
@Ronan kids these days
 
Especially hurtful because you've never played a game with me
 
3:20 PM
it's not my fault the court said i can't RPG with minors
 
Sounds like it very much is your fault actually
 
@Ronan You're probably an acceptable GM
I mean, you might well be okay.

Q: Is it possible to name a status effect

ErramIs it possible to change the name or the icon of a status effect in minecraft. My goal is to give someone slowness. But I want the effect to have the name "Injured" or "Bleeding". Is this possible with command block or maybe texture pack or is it just impossible?

Q: Merging Xbox game data

 KlassenKnowsI have an Xbox One and I originally created an account under my name. My son is playing Fortnite and I wanted to create his own ID. Can I merge his game data from my account ID to his?

 
So remember how a couple weeks (maybe months) ago I said that every time I felt something minor in my groin I was worried about torsion? I visited a doctor today, she said it was probably an inflammation of the epididymis. one and a half week of anti-inflammation medicine and it should be fixed
The epididymis (; plural: epididymides or ) is a tube that connects a testicle to a vas deferens in the male reproductive system. It is present in all male reptiles, birds, and mammals. It is a single, narrow, tightly-coiled tube (in adult humans, six to seven meters in length) connecting the efferent ducts from the rear of each testicle to its vas deferens. == Structure == The epididymis can be divided into three main regions: The head (Latin: Caput). The head of the epididymis receives spermatozoa via the efferent ducts of the mediastinium of the testis. It is characterized histologically by...

Q: What do the dotted lines on the map mean?

Steven VascellaroIn the iOS game Vignettes, there is a map screen which shows the paths you can use to travel between objects. Most paths are shown as solid lines, but a few paths use a dotted line instead. What do the dotted lines mean on the map screen in Vignettes?

 
@Unionhawk Man, woodcutting is fun
 
I've got 16.5 loads of cutting and dropping teak logs because I don't feel like running all the way to the bank and back each time
Occasionally I'll run to drop off a bird nest but that's it
 
Just train fletching/alch at the same time!
Or woodburning
 
If anyone likes JRPGs even a little it's worth buying a Switch to play Octopath Traveler.
CC @Yuuki who I remember was on the fence.
 
Hyrule Warriors is starting to get a bit stale so I'll probably pick up Octopath Traveler this week.
Well, not so much stale as "I don't really know what to do".
Like, I'm trying to get Volga's Rank 2 weapon but it's a bit difficult to get that A-Rank when I have to beat the commander and The Imprisoned.
And Volga has like no extra heart containers.
I keep getting a B-Rank on Damage Taken.
 
6:50 PM
Volga was probably my least favorite character to play as in the time I've spent with the game.
 
Volga's not too much fun to play as and he's annoying to play against.
I feel like his weak points come up the least often of all the characters and the preceding attacks are annoying to dodge such that you're in a position to take advantage of the weak point.
 
Does Zant even have weak points though?
He has like 1 move with a weak point and he does it once every 10 minutes.
 
To be honest, I just beat the stuffing out of Zant.
 
Yeah he doesn't feel too threatening.
 
He's never been a problem. Whereas I feel like I have to break weak points against Volga.
 
6:52 PM
But it just takes a while since he's never weakened.
 
But also his weak points are annoying to get at.
But it's rough to get A-Rank on Damage Taken against The Imprisoned when you have very few heart containers.
 
The Imprisoned is a pain in the ass no matter what.
 
Its recovery attacks are dumb as hell.
 
The one where it just rushes you on its belly is like undodgeable.
 
Including no matter which game you're playing
 
6:54 PM
You can't even block it since block only affects frontal attacks.
 
The Imprisoned sucked in Skyward Sword too
 
And it's so big that its rush technically hits your sides too.
Plus the rush attacks so quickly that it breaks your block one second and not even a second later hits you with a second attack.
My go-to strategy has been to just break target lock and run out of the room.
 
I had a mission that was "kill all the enemies" as Fi and the final room was an Imprisoned and 2 mini Imprisoned and ugh.
 
@Exeggutor Oh dear god.
 
And then it turned out that her numbers weren't high enough to do it anyway.
 
6:56 PM
What's even worse is a "kill specific enemy" room with The Imprisoned. And your target isn't The Imprisoned.
 
Haven't had to deal with that yet, will look forward to it.
I hate rooms that are "kill specific enemy" and the one you have to kill has like 10x as much life as the one that you're not supposed to kill.
So you're over here wailing on it and the other one wanders up and just gets murdered and you fail the mission.
 
Oh yeah, I lost one once because I broke a weak point as Link. And then the ensuing spinning slash charge touched a Bokoblin Captain and I failed.
 
7:35 PM
@Exeggutor Damn... It's worth buying the console just for Octopath Traveler?

Q: Is it possible to remove recipes in minecraft?

ErramIs it possible to remove a original recipe from your minecraft world in anyway? Or make it unavailable to craft? I have tried to find a answer but I only found how to remove custom made recipes.

 
user15026
@Dragonrage :D
 
user15026
(I know her, she's good people)
 
@Lazers2.0 Definitely possible because there are a number of survival mods that remove certain recipes.
Augh, I want WoW to get rid of factions.
I'd like to be able to PvE with everyone rather than just people on Horde or Alliance.
 
@Ash yeah, from my interactions with her, she seems that way.
 
@Yuuki I think this might be the wrong expansion for that :P
 
9:56 PM
@SaintWacko This expansion is exactly why I want that to happen.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune both of those are excellent
 
The storyline is dumb, the character writing is abysmal, and I hate it.
 
user15026
@Ronan I don't Even have to lie, you are a great GM
 
And it's all because Blizzard feels the need to make sure everyone thinks faction-based PvP is still relevant.
 
user15026
@Yuuki which is so weird considering their approach to PvP being so optional
 
9:59 PM
@fredley hue
 
@Ash Honestly, I hope War Mode leads to removing factions.
Now that you can enable World PvP rather than join a PvP-enabled server, the next step is to add cross-faction grouping and set War Mode to PvP between all players, not just cross-faction.
 
@Yuuki That would be incredibly chaotic
 
I honestly don't think it would be.
At the very least, not any more chaotic than it currently is.
 
@Yuuki If literally every person with war mode on was fighting everyone else?
 
@SaintWacko We already have 5+-man groups waiting at flight points to ambush people.
 
user15026
10:07 PM
@Yuuki and this is why I will never enable PvP
 
@Ash Yeah, I still hate the Dalaran sewers.
Even if you can buy a guard to prevent PvP.
 
nice to know that pvp servers haven't changed in literally 10 years of wow updates

Mind you I could totally happily play WoW by just questing and be happy

10:12 PM
@GodEmperorDune Actually, with the new War Mode, there's no more PvP servers.
You just have Normal and Role Play servers.
@Ash Once you hit level cap for certain expansions, you should be able to go back and one-shot old expansion dungeons if you want to experience more lore.
And for purty transmogs.

Yeah, World has run me through a few by bringing one of his high level characters
