12:00 AM
I just know that I want all the starters in gen 6 and I don't know how I'm going to choose one.
 
@FAE Piplup is awesome.
@StrixVaria Roll a die.
 
@Wipqozn Hm...
 
@StrixVaria Let your wife choose it!!
 
@StrixVaria Water/Dark
 
then pick the other one.
 
12:01 AM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but Fire/Psychic.
 
@StrixVaria Psychic ruins Fire :(
 
@OrigamiRobot How?
 
@StrixVaria 0 mod 3 = grass; 1 mod 3 = fire; 2 mod 3 = water;
 
@StrixVaria I hate Psychic.
 
Psychic is an awesome type.
 
12:02 AM
I've used Breloom before, so I'm going to eliminate the grass starter. I still need to pick between fire and water, though.
 
FAE
Argh, the fan on the PSU of our server seems to be loose...
 
No, it's awful
 
@StrixVaria I always go with water, so water.
 
@StrixVaria You get the event Torchic, so get the water one
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't want to use Blaziken.

Q: Selecting points uniformly in regions corresponding with neighbors, avoiding infinite recursion

hexafractionI need to generate a somewhat realistic map of cubic meter voxels, with water, sand, grasses, trees, minerals, deserts, beaches, islands, etc, without any sort of voronoi cop-out(i.e. be smart about relating these factors to each other). Yes, this is a game. I figured I'd generate critical point...

 
I have 2 weeks to make up my mind, though.
:(
 
@StrixVaria Make your wife decide.
All important decisions now effect both of you!
hopes he used the right effect
I feel like I didn't.
 
@Wipqozn You didn't.
 
I feel like I should have used affect.
@StrixVaria S oI was right about being wrong. Excellent.
I'll call this one a victory.
 
@Wipqozn you are such a copycat
 
12:08 AM
@badp I didn't see someone say that, but I probably copied it without realizing.
I'm just that shady.

@StrixVaria Let your wife choose it!!

I'm so ashamed.

Q: Can you delete the downloads folder?

HashbrownIn my Steam folder, under steamapps, there is a downloading directory which is totaling more than 5gB. Exploring it shows game files for games that, not only do I not have a local installation for, but have since been removed from my library completely (trial for a HL mod). Steam is currently no...

 
I was a criminal and I didn't even know it.
 
I AM SO REMOVING YOUR ITAL... oh.
talk about poor planning.
 
12:09 AM
@badp You should just add them again so you can remove them again in the future!
You don't want this to happen again. All eager to remove my ownership when I have no ownership to remove!
 
@Wipqozn that's the usual plan but your medium time between crimes isn't usually this short
well I guess I'll have to use plan B
 
At least I'm not an owner for him to remove this time.
 
 
12:11 AM
@Wipqozn Next best thing
 
This is fantastic.
 
Ugh.
 
Oh, damn.
 
12:11 AM
the praire can't be dramatic fast enough for all of these plot twists
 
I thought @badp removed @Fluttershy.
 
@StrixVaria You only beat me to removing myself.
 
@OrigamiRobot doing it was much less funny.
 
@StrixVaria Thank you, sir.
 
@StackExchange What a traitor.
 
12:12 AM
And congratulations on the wedding! :D
 
@Strix be layin' down the LAW.
 
@Fluttershy Thanks!
 
@StrixVaria forgets it was I who gave him this power.
 
But I hold it peacefully.
 
I hold it peacefully too and @Lesspop removes me anyway so I might as well be mean.
 
12:14 AM
@badp Well, @OrigamiRobot couldn't have exactly removed @Wipqozn, so, what did you expect?
 
3 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
@Wipqozn Next best thing
 
@badp Ah.
@OrigamiRobot I disapprove of you not adding then removing @Wipqozn during your brief run with power. ಠ_ಠ
 
@Wipqozn floor 15!
 
@Unionhawk I was hoping he'd add me but then I'd be able to remove him before he could remove me.
@Sterno I'm still on 13. I've been playing EU4.
 
@Wipqozn Then @badp would probably have done it.
 
12:16 AM
@Unionhawk naaah
Clicking that remove button is a lot of work, and he just added @OrigamiRobot. There's only so much work @badp can do in one day.,
He's a busy man.
 
rewatching the IT Crowd
 
@badp I'm disabled.
 
@Sterno Oh dear, how did that happen?
 
@badp ...acid?
 
@Sterno What are the odds!

It's longer though
@StrixVaria Congratulations!

@StrixVaria Grats on the whole being married thing.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I said it first

I searched around and found out this is a common bug. I hadn't retrieved the Helm of Winterhold so I went to the cave and got it without killing anyon...

 
@PrivatePansy Congrats! Those are pretty awful.
 
I defended my camp against hypothetical suicide bombers, terrorists and rioters
I also let in a pair of stray dogs to rummage through our trash cans
Let's hope they're not terrorist dogs seeking to compromise our national security
 
@PrivatePansy You never know.

@PrivatePansy BOOOOM
 
Playing Red Alert has made me paranoid
There was also a cat, but she refused to come in even after I offered her some of our leftover cake
 
@wipqozn I'm finding the next boss tough since it has a full party AOE that also causes sleep, which screws me if my healer passes out, but you'll probably be able to face roll him
 
Cats are so picky
 
user20683

Q: Which Pokemon can have Mega Evolution states?

RetrosaurFrom what I've seen so far, it's largely limited to old starters and old legendaries. Which Pokemon can have Mega Evolution states? Is it strictly limited to older generations of Pokemon, or is there a certain set of Pokemon that share this feature?

Q: Where's the Move Trainer and Move Deleter?

RetrosaurWhere can I find these two NPC's? I accidentally gave my main starter a stupid useless HM move, and now I'm very unwilling to sacrifice the other 3 to make room for another one. If I'd like to delete a move, where can I find him? If I need to re-learn a deleted move, where can I find a move tra...

Q: What's the most effecient way to farm Pokémon Dollars?

RetrosaurWhat's the most efficient way to farm Pokemon Dollars in Pokemon X & Y? I'd love to be able to have a decently sized wallet so I can show it off to others, but mainly to buy tons of Max Repels when venturing through the wild. I remember how hard it would be in previous Generations. For example,...

Q: What can I blow up?

Michael DunfieldI noticed that there's a particular element in Futuridium that you can break through easily by shooting. It looks like a stack of boxes. It seems you have to break through it in some stages in order to get a good line on power cubes. However, I also noticed just now that you can destroy the ...

Q: Where can I get a Master Ball?

RetrosaurI remember in previous generations that finding a Master Ball would typically come after a major Boss fight. You could have also gotten through some form of lottery (I think this was in Pearl). If anything, where and when will I be able to find Master Balls in Pokemon X&Y?

 
I'm so happy The Long Dark reached their goal
 
@MichaelDunfield Samesame. I've tried backing it twice now, but Kickstarter (or my bank) won't let me donate. :(
 
@Fluttershy They're going to open up paypal backing now that they reached the goal
 
@MichaelDunfield Oh good! :D

Q: How many Sixth-Gen Pokemon are Legendaries?

RetrosaurSo I'm pretty sure there's at least 2, one for both X & Y. Much like other iterations of the other Pokemon games, are there other Legendaries? How many legendaries, and what are their names?

Y'know, I'm with @Strix on this one.
 
I'm going to agree with the two sensible ones in the room as well.
 
such bandwagon
( Í¡° ͜ʖ Í¡°)
 
@Unionhawk I haven't stated an opinion yet.
 
The definition of "legendary" has shifted so much, and it's rather easy to look it up, if you want to fit whatever definition you have. I'd assume you can catch a small set of them, and add all previous legendaries in there in some fashion. Or do those not count? Etc.
It's in the same category as Guilo's old read-the-wiki-dammit questions afaic
 
2:26 AM
"You should know better." is what it boils down to.

@AshleyNunn cc @Wipqozn
And much to my dismay, I am forming an answer. I guess it's better than the "How many pokemon are there?" question, at the end of the day. But not by a whole lot.
 
@AshleyNunn Do you still have the link for that video I sent you? I want to try to download it.
 
user15026
2:35 AM
@MichaelDunfield I don't think so? But I can check.
 
Don't worry about it, I can probably find it again.
If I can remember the title...
 
@Retrosaur answer formed. There are 3 total, 2 to find in each version.
1 is in both versions. Don't worry, I know how to math.
X has a Fairy type legendary, Y has a Dark Flying. They both have a Dragon Ground as a sort of "final" legendary.
And you can encounter the legendary birds and Mewtwo, but not catch them. The legendary birds get within view and leave with a quickness, apparently. Before you can select any action.

Q: What are the blue gems for?

Michael DunfieldEvery now and then a defeated enemy drops something that looks like a blue gem. It's sparkly and really bouncy, so it can be hard to catch if you're on land.

Q: Which Pokemon do I need to trade between X & Y in order to Catch 'Em All?
