@JasonBerkan That's how I know the Arqade FAQ says to blame @Wipqozn
@Sterno figures
To give an illustration of the real meanness, @SaintWacko, there's these explodey enemies of all different types. The first you fight are kamikaze yeeks (where yeeks are basically like an analog to goblins and such), they just kinda boom and hurt.
@GraceNote @TrentHawkins told me about those.
I've ran into exactly one.
@GraceNote Creepers!
But then you find bomb rocks, who explode for far greater damage, often fatal, and they teleport. And they're basically living mines so if you shoot them and fail to kill them, they "click" and then explode.
17:01
And I managed to murder it before it went boom.
Then you find cluster bomb rocks, who are bomb rocks but with more HP (so less chance to kill them without exploding), that split when hit, which takes advantage of the fact that exploding monsters can setup a chain reaction amongst themselves.
@Sterno Nice.
And so you then enter a dungeon and when you go down the stairs, you find yourself in a room filled with 14 cluster bomb rocks.
That's how I intend when I say that Elona is meaner.
@fbueckert The meta I was thinking of predated our changes to the system, eheh, so we did kinda muss this kinda-esque.
@GraceNote I suppose we could use the offensive reason, but it doesn't really make sense for incoherency.
17:05
Yeah.
I guess for now, settle for "not an answer". It's less than ideal, for sure, but little else to do on it that really is appropriate.
@GraceNote Can you throw stuff to set them off from a distance?
@GraceNote Or, you could just give me mod delete powers. :P
@MichaelDunfield You can shoot them or throw things at them to set them off, yes, which is about the thing to do if you are, indeed, at a safe distance.
It's complicated because in splitting they can kinda close the distance post-mortem, which is as horrifying as it sounds.
@GraceNote Oh man, that sounds dangerous.
17:08
@Sterno I sound like a guy on drugs? That's interesting.
0
Q: Can you change your flair on the site?

Young GuiloIs it possible to change your flair on the site or is it just to do it on others? The blank one is kinda boring.

@Yuki No. You didn't sound like you were on drugs. Your lack of push-to-talk made the background noise sound like bong hits
@Sterno Bong hits? You mean gong hits?
No.
@SepiaLazers I GOT THIS
Or the onomatopeaia?
Listen to the video. That's what it sounded like.
@GraceNote Oh, I thought he meant the actual flair.
@GraceNote I found an altar dedicated to the god of wealth. I decided against worshipping him, because I don't know the penalties for switching gods.
Which is a question I should really ask.
@fbueckert *her
17:11
@Sterno Ah....
Well, that's unfortunate.

Q: How can I find my Minecraft username?

ethanI can't get Hexxit working on Minecraft. I've bought the game and I logged in with my email so I don't know what my username is. Where can I my username?

@GraceNote him/her/it. Hard to tell from the names.
@Yuki It only happened during gunfights. Was probably just distorted gun sound effects
Or you really like to smoke it up during gunfights.
@Sterno Probably the gun sound effects. I don't smoke. The closest thing I do is a nervous tic with the souvenir pipe I bought in England.
17:15
I think the lighter sounds can be explained by distortion of the silenced pistols whereas everything else can be attributed to general noise.
@Yuki @kalina likes to solo the mission for the whole team, and she also likes to smoke for the whole team too.
I just wiped us
There was no lighter noise. Just the bubbly sound
10 seconds into the mission
gg me
I unlocked the saw so... we have that if we ever need it.
Gonna work on getting shaped charges now so we can do the Ukrainian Job in 30 seconds.
17:17
@fbueckert Answer written.
@GraceNote Question almost written.
I'm going for a sort of deadpan humor.
For the sake of curiosity, what's "livepan" humor?
I think the opposite is actually deadpot.
I wish Payday 2 didn't exist. I really want to play Elona
0
Q: Do gods take breakups badly?

fbueckertWhile out adventuring, I ran into an altar dedicated to the god of Wealth. Now, there are certainly bonuses to worshipping said god. But I decided to pass on believing in them, in case I ran into another, more beneficial god. I didn't want to take the chance that my original god would take off...

There. Not sure how well I did.
17:20
Well... it seems that "deadpan" is a compound word and "pan", in this case, is a slang term for the face.
I don't know how those guards fit in those tiny duffle bags
@Sterno Minor space-time dilation.
Armed felonies make you more money than quantum physics, so our intrepid protagonists left the world of academia to pursue violent crime.
@Wipqozn "with all do respect this is america" [sic]
Payday 3 will involve their eventual redemption and journey back as they discover the gravitational effects of large quantities of fabric in the form of American currency on the human psyche.
17:25
A nice tl;dr of those posts is: I'M NOT RACIST BUT EVERYONE WHO HAS A DIFFERENT SKIN COLOUR THEN ME ISN'T A PERSON
@MichaelDunfield W ith all due respect (comma) this is A merica.
@Yuki Yeah it's pretty bad.
Payday really needs bonuses for pulling off a stealth job
@Wipqozn This is terrible
Why do they always cry when they win?
17:27
@Wipqozn Arab, huh.
@FEichinger Yes.
Everyone knows that having a certain skin colour means you must be arab or muslim.
@Sterno Emotion explosion.
Come on now, get with the times.
Like fuck, next thing you'll be saying women should vote!
2
Everyone knows white is vendor trash.
or that people with mental health problems should be given treatment instead of beaten!
17:28
@Wipqozn Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I just remember the time when everyone else was a "filthy commie".
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn I just... I can't... uuuuuuuuugh.
@Wipqozn I hate people.
I don't care what @lesspop says, Twitter has the highest collection of racists on the internet, not reddit.

Stack Overflow officially launched on September 15, 2008. In five short years, you’ve answered over 5 million questions on more than 100 sites, and helped hundreds of millions of people find the answers they needed. Today, we want to celebrate how, together, we changed one small corner of the Internet for the better.

Today, we want to hear your stories about how someone on Stack Exchange helped you.

Before it went into beta, stackoverflow.com had a comic on the landing page that came to symbolize what we were setting out to do: …

17:31
@Wipqozn Hah! Youtube probably beats them handily.
Jin
Jin
TELL ME YOUR STORIEZ
@Jin Oh, fixed it did we? ABOUT TIME!
@fbueckert Oh, good point.
@Jin I once loved this guy named @Jin. It was glorious.
@Jin STAY A WHILE AND LISTEN
Jin
Jin
@Wipqozn you only loved me for my hair...
@Wipqozn And then the hair was lost, and so was the love.
17:33
@Wipqozn But then he cut his hair. It was terrible. CC @FAE
@Jin Your beautiful flowing locks of hair.
Jin
Jin
@fbueckert :(
@Jin Oh, don't worry. It'll come back in a decade or two.
Should I get a personal pizza or a chicken sandwich?
@Yuki chicken sandwich pizza
17:33
@Yuki Neither. Get Sushi instead.
As reluctant as I am to do this, I am going to second @Wipqozn.
@Wipqozn Huh. There is a sushi place in the student center.
Jin
Jin
@fbueckert actually my hair grows pretty fast. may take 2years to get back to 18"
Stalker.
Problem is, half of the sushi uses avocado. Which I'm okay with, but I don't particularly like in my sushi.
I have never had sushi that I like.
17:35
@Yuki Personal as in "small", or as in "just for me"? Because full sized personal pizzas are the best pizzas.
Jin
Jin
@OrigamiRobot do you like sashimi?
@Sterno Personal as in small.
@FAE The internet is always happy to remind you that no matter how far society progresses, there will always be people who still think it's the 1950s.
@Jin I like the word. Past that, I couldn't tell you.
@Wipqozn Hey. That's an insult to people living in the 50s. There were some surprisingly forward thinkers.
Jin
Jin
17:36
@OrigamiRobot you thought you didn't like anything.
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot T_T
@OrigamiRobot Raw fish by itself.
I can't give any examples because I was just giving the cliche "that's an insult to rocks" line.
@Yuki Yes, but it was socially acceptable to be racist.
@Yuki What are you, a communist?
17:37
@Sterno I am full-blood Chinese, so maybe.
@Wipqozn I know what it is, I just can't answer "Do you like it?"
@Yuki What are you, a communist WHO HATES PIZZA?
@OrigamiRobot Oh, for some reason i thought you said you had no idea what it is.
@Sterno Depends on the toppings.
Also, if I ever meet @OrigamiRobot in RL I'll need to take him to a Sushi place.
17:37
@Sterno All communists hate Pizza, duh!
If I'm lucky @OrigamiRobot won't like Sushi and I'll be able to eat his Sushi in addition to my own.
@Wipqozn Apparently your reading of writing is as bad as your writing of writing.
@Wipqozn No thanks. I've tried two types of sushi and liked neither.
@GraceNote Apparently so.
@FEichinger Now that you capitalized "pizza", it's only a matter of time before the existence of a small town named "Pizza, TX"
17:38
@OrigamiRobot This is the proper reaction.
@Yuki Shhhh! That's my decade-long plan!
I'm not a fan of asiany food of pretty much any variety
@MichaelDunfield Thai Food?
Probably not
I didn't hate one kind, it just didn't taste like anything.
17:39
@MichaelDunfield Sexist.
It was like eating air.
@MichaelDunfield You monster.
Speaking of sushi, I made some turtle sashimi to sacrifice to my god.
@OrigamiRobot Air is delicious.
Yea, but I eat free air all day.
FAE
FAE
17:40
@MichaelDunfield That's... really broad.
@FAE My dislike of asian food is also really broad.
Jin
Jin
@MichaelDunfield we can't be BFFs anymore. but then again, you most likely had only fake asian food
@Jin That reminds me, I want to try real Chinese food one day.
@Jin Made by fake Asians with their fake chopsticks and fake soy sauce.
@Jin I dunno, there is a pretty legit asian place near my highschool and my friend and his asian girlfriend dragged me along there one time and all the staff was asian and like didn't speak english and I had wonton soup and accidentally put a shitload of hotsauce in it and it was gross.
17:43
From what I understand the Chinese Food often sold in NA is heavily amercanized.
@MichaelDunfield Well, that's mostly your bad...
The only asian thing I like are those little bastardized chicken balls
@MichaelDunfield Yeah, balls are delicious.
4
I don't want to try authentic Chinese at all.
I don't want most americanized chinese.
@MichaelDunfield I love wonton soup. Now I want wonton soup.
17:44
I just like fried rice.
@Wipqozn I attended an authentic Chinese reception in Markham, ON. The food was great - 10 courses of awesomeness. The chicken ball was huge, with a crab claw sticking out of it for you to grab onto.
@GraceNote I think that qualifies as hate speech in here.
Jin
Jin
@MichaelDunfield it's ok my wife didn't like real asian food either.
@Jin Good for her!
=P
But yeah, everyone I know loves asian food.
Jin
Jin
@MichaelDunfield beating does wonders though.
17:46
And I'm just like 'no thanks'
Jin
Jin
I KEED I KEED
And they'er like whwaaaaaaaa
@Jin HAH
I just like simple foods.
Jin
Jin
it's still a big debate whenever we go out to eat... and we don't go out that much.
@Jin sushi is always the correct answer.
17:47
Take some meat, add heat, the end.
I want Sushi now, but I don't want to go through the trouble of going out.
Jin
Jin
@Wipqozn sushi is an acquired taste imo.. (for non-japanese). no one i know, myself included, liked sushi the first time they tried it.
@GnomeSlice, fly on over to NOva SCotia, buy me some Sushi, and deliver it to my house. Thanks.
@Jin I loved Sushi first time I tried it.
But then again I love fish.
Fish is the best thing in the world.
@Wipqozn I had sushi in Halifax a few years ago. It was really, really, good.
@Jin I will never understand acquired tastes. If you didn't like it last time, why are you eating it again?
Jin
Jin
17:48
@Wipqozn it's the chicken of the sea
@Jin Would chicken then be "the tuna of the land"?
When I (finally) move out I'll probably have an almost all fish diet. It's one of my favourite things to eat, but my mother doesn't. So I rarely have it at home unless my folks aren't home.
Jin
Jin
@OrigamiRobot maybe you were held at gun point years later forced to eat it. then 2nd time around you were like "mmmm this isn't too bad after all!"
@Jin I was a bit leery, but I didn't mind it at all my first time.
@fbueckert Yeah, Halifax has some good Sushi places.
FAE
FAE
17:49
@OrigamiRobot This is difficult for me to grok at times too.
@Jin I really don't think that happens enough for it to have a term.
@OrigamiRobot For the sake of telling people "it's an acquired taste".
@OrigamiRobot Don't be silly. That kind of thing happens all the time.
I know tastes change over time, but why are you investigating this?
AAAAAAAAA, TOO MUCH WASABI ON MY SUSHI.
17:51
Coffee is fucking disgusting
2
There is no way I will ever acquire that taste.
@Yuki And all I hear is "I ate some shit I didn't like until I liked it."

Jin
Jin
@MichaelDunfield brave level: Dunfield
@MichaelDunfield Yeah, I don't like Coffee either.
@Jin I liked it the first time.
Not that I would drink it if I did.
17:52
@Jin ??
I prefer not to be dependent on coffee to function.
@MichaelDunfield I agree. The only time I ever liked coffee was in those really weird mixes that end having like 1% actual coffee.
Even then, it wasn't a strong like.
@Wipqozn You love sushi, but you hate coffee. I dunno, turtle. Sometimes, you're awesome. The rest, you're this strange little shelled thing that I don't recognize.
@fbueckert I also dislike bacon.
Oh god, my nasal passages have never been clearer.
17:52
@Wipqozn I am convinced that's just people saying that and coffee has no actual effect like that.
I didn't use to be fond ofPie, but it's grown on me. I now enjoy it.
But I seem to be immune to caffeine and sugar.
@OrigamiRobot While I was going through some fun stuff, I stopped drinking coffee for a few days.
@fbueckert Do you need a hug?
Didn't feel anything at all in the mornings. I got really tired in the evenings, though.
17:54
@OrigamiRobot has the best gravatar.
@OrigamiRobot It's very true, at least for the first few days after you stop
I've said that before, but I'm saying it again.
The human body builds up an immunity to caffeine ridiculously fast.
@Sterno I went from drinking coffee every day to none and there was no change at all.
If you drink coffee regularly, you are not dependent upon caffeine to function.
17:55
@OrigamiRobot Then you are magical. I assume that means you didn't replace it with other caffeinated beverages.
@Sterno Not really.
@Sterno He just started shooting it directly into his bloodstream circuits.
I get pretty nasty headache for a day or two if I stop caffeine.
I can function. It just hurts in the meantime.
I drink soda and tea all the time, but it has no effect on me if I stop.
@Sterno This kind of thing is the kind of thing that is why I avoid getting into coffee. Aside from its foul taste reminiscent of the blood of devils.

Q: usb is recognized by xbox but it will not show what is loaded on it

SauceyI have formatted my usb and the xbox recognizes it however it shows the usb as empty which it is not?? Help please

The only thing coffee every day got me was an elongated uvula.
@GraceNote I actually don't drink coffee that often. It's diet mountain dew that infuses my blood with caffeine.
Which, to be fair, also tastes awful.
@Sterno Coincidentally I avoid the majority of caffeinated sodas too. It's all (root) beer and (ginger) ale for me!
sigh It seems that the events of the Clay Warrens will leave a lasting impression on me...
I don't drink soda/tea/whatever for the caffeine. I drink it because water tastes awful.

@Sterno Fun fact: when my sisters went down to the states for a day, I asked them to pick me up a case of Mountain Dew.

You need to drink it only from bottles, and freeze it to the point where it crystallizes slightly when you open the top.

17:58
@fbueckert Canadian Mountain Dew is just... disappointing.
I prefer to just not drink soda at all.
Mountain Dew and its ilk are so gross.
@FAE That's because it's caffeine-free.
I'd rather have a delicious glass of milk. Or water. Water kicks ass.
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert I think there's less sugar too. It's just... ugh.
17:59
@FAE Yeah, I have no answer for that.
1 min ago, by OrigamiRobot
I don't drink soda/tea/whatever for the caffeine. I drink it because water tastes awful.
The water at my apartment is awful
@OrigamiRobot You need better water.
@Wipqozn All water is awful.
it's alright for a bit, but the longer it sits after coming out of the faucet, the worse it tastes
18:00
@Wipqozn Milk is terrible.
any ice is completely unusable
Fun fact: Don't not drink milk for a decade, then drink 3 glasses of it in one night.
sigh All gaming sites are plastered with GTA V stuff.
Milk tastes fine, but it makes your mouth slimey and gross.
@fbueckert Except Arqade.
FAE
FAE
18:01
@Sterno I bet you had fun with that!
Juice is the best.
@FAE Bonus points for it occurring shortly after I started dating my wife and was staying over at her house.
Fruit is the best.
FAE
FAE
@Sterno Sexy, sexy intestinal cramps!
The other bad part about water is it fills me up before it makes me unthirsty.
18:06
@OrigamiRobot I hate that I thought I was the only one that happened to
I am in a constant state of thirst.
@OrigamiRobot This this
Maybe we have diabetes
@wipqozn I'm not in a position to discuss the other, finer points of the distinction between two websites, but let me be clear that my primary issue with Reddit isn't racism, it's widespread, blatant misogyny.
@GraceNote Are you familiar with this game?
@FAE Milk does this if you're not used to it? Really?
18:11
@MichaelDunfield I'm knowledgeable of the series.
From a distance.
Worth checking out?
user15026
@FAE How so? Even now with us having caffeinated stuff?
user15026
@fbueckert Dairy in large quantities is very unfriendly to digestion, and "large amount" becomes smaller the more unfamiliar you are with it
@AshleyNunn Huh. I had no idea.
@fbueckert Neither did I, until that night. Consider this a PSA!
18:14
@Sterno Seeing as how I drink milk daily, I don't think I'll have an issue.
You Canadians and your milk.
user15026
@fbueckert I am wise in the ways of what happens when you eat too much of any one thing (too much cheese/pickles/pineapple/spicy peppers, for some examples)
What happens with too many pickles?
user15026
@Sterno Hyper-salination and a lot of acidity - basically, a lot of intestinal pain, and an attempt by your body to rid itself of the offenders as fast as possible.
user15026
You kinda feel like you might die.
18:16
Ouch.
Speaking of which, don't drink too much water.

@Wipqozn I knew what you were talking about before you even said it.
Goron/Subrosian dancing is the worst.

It made me so frustrated and took me forever.
@OrigamiRobot But but but...
@GraceNote No! Shame on you for whatever you're thinking!
18:23
@OrigamiRobot Actually I then remembered that I did it at like the wrong time so I had to do like three times as much dancing as you need to get through the game and so it was pretty bothersome.
@OrigamiRobot Excelent.

Q: Mute someone in Steam voice chat

StudokuIs it possible to mute someone in Steam voice chat, ideally without blocking other communication from them? The person in question is in the same room as me and I'd like us both to be able to chat without having to hear the other twice.

> Are you ready for an early 90's style Golden Axe inspired comedy brawler with a serious pair of unicorns balls!
> unicorns balls
@BenBrocka wat
Why would you want that
@BenBrocka Somebody backed a shitload I guess
18:47
@BenBrocka Didn't that dev actually post that he'd gotten a loan from his father to meet that goal?
This is what we in statistics call a totally-legit-curve
@fbueckert Oh that was this game?
@BenBrocka I believe so, yes
They have a backers only page explaining things.
I can't see it though.
@OrigamiRobot Honestly that's one of the coolest parts about having a kid. Seeing them become insanely happy over the weirdest/most trivial things
Sadly, since Ouya refuses to do anything about this, we're just going to see more of these.
18:50
@OrigamiRobot Oh yeah, here it is: forums.somethingawful.com/…
@Sterno I like kids in general, I just dont think I should ever be allowed to have one.
it's the dad-funded game
Dad funding, for when crowdfunding isn't enough
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I'd drop it or something
@BenBrocka Or forget it somewhere.
Leave it in my pants pocket when I do the laundry

I am only okay with them when I can give them back when they do weird stuff I can't understand
