Q: Is there a way to collect more chocolate bars?

AlexandreI wonder if I can get more chocolate bars, to enchant spoon and if possible to increase more stats, kowing that I'm pretty sure I got all non random ones. (treasure/shop...)

@Lazers Dupe
@Lazers Answer @OrigamiRobot's questions, get $1, buy more chocolate bars!
@Sterno They get all mad and offended when you show how gullible they were.
@JasonBerkan My only request is that you not buy alcohol with it or if you do, don't tell me.
@OrigamiRobot I hardly ever drink, so no worries there.
17:14
you should do it
or drugs
and then tell everybody that @OrigamiRobot is funding your habit
@JasonBerkan Can't really get alcohol for $1.04 around here, anyways.
Gogo vice tax!
why would you tax vices, they're useful for holding things
@kalina He's funding my wife's digital scrapbooking habit. Does that count?
@kalina They're heavy. Expensive to ship.
@JasonBerkan what the hell is a digital scrapbook
some things just shouldn't be made "digital"
17:16
@kalina It's like a real scrapbook, but not.
so it's basically a folder full of pictures?
because that's an "image library"
@kalina Beat me to it.
Mostly it's just playing around with pictures in Photoshop. You can get the books actually printed, though.

Q: Is there an ambient light cheat/command in “Don’t Starve”?

SynetechIs there a console command or cheat code or something in Don’t Starve that will make it bright like daytime? I checked the console command list, but there was nothing. I’ve seen some mods that can make it perpetually daytime, but that has no effect in caves. Is there a way to set the ambient li...

17:18
@Lazers Don't Starve has a console? Huh. TIL
@Unionhawk you press alt and then f4
@kalina I see... I'll have to try that sometime.
Here's one of her pages:
that does not even look like a scrap book
There are people who create these kinds of pages with actual paper and buttons and what not, all glued together into some kind of unholy mess.
17:22
@JasonBerkan I believe my sister is one of those people.
Should we be encouraging pure video only answers? My understanding is that it needs at least a bit of text to go with it.
@fbueckert That's my understanding too. I'm less inclined to watch a video if I don't know what I'm looking for in the video, or how it's relevant to my question.
I see it as link-only answers; if it drops, the answer is suddenly useless.
You're all a bunch of commies. Also, the Computer is your friend.
Which is why I'm concerned about this answer; it doesn't set a good example.

Q: When does the forest end?

candywarriorI've been on this quest for about 20 minutes and it doesn't seem to have an end. I have 150,000 candies so far from killing the wolves, trees, etc. Am I just impatient? Another thing to note is that my screen is flooded with Octopus warriors - do they need to be out of the way for me to progress?

every cb2 question is a dupe
@fredley You finished the game in a day. How many unique questions can it contain?
@JasonBerkan Not many more than it has
FAE
FAE
41
A: Does Arqade frown upon Youtube videos as answers?

badpJust like link-only answers, the answer should be able to stand on its own feet even if the video becomes deleted/private/unavailable in your region/gets taken down or if youtube embedding doesn't work.

@FAE So, yes, it shouldn't be on its own like that.
17:31
Free Steam Early Access codes for: finalexam-thegame.com/?rub=early_access
@fbueckert so tell @3ventic rather than assume he's reading atm
195 REP TO GO!
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Yeah, we should have a description of some sort
That reminds me, time to ask some cb2 questions
This should be a part of fredley's answer, or fredley's part ot this one, not on its own. My understanding is that videos are just like link-only answers; summarize the basic information, in the event the video/link ever goes down. — fbueckert 1 min ago
17:31
I doubt he's aware of our views on such answers
@OrigamiRobot answer cb2 questions, much rep
that'll do
15 popuplar question badges in 24 hours, 3 notable (many more on the way)
SO MUCH BADGES
1
A: When does the forest end?

fredleyYou have too many octopi. They'll be preventing you from moving right. I'm afraid you'll have to abandon your progress and restart, maybe without the obsidian crown? I find it easy to get through the forest with the jasper crown and enchanted monkey staff.

^^ Love games like that where the answers to questions sound like made up gibberish :D
0
Q: What do the different levels of bugs do?

fredleyI can set the bug level using the computer from 0-4 for graphical, quest and ultimate. What do these actually do? Are they reversible or am I at risk of destroying my game?

17:36
@James You could also summon demons to kill your octopi if you have the spell.
@Lazers This needs a better title
@OrigamiRobot true dat
@fbueckert Feel free to consider it as such, but I don't currently have the time to write up a proper solution. I'll get to it within a few days (and that video is not going anywhere in that time...)
@OrigamiRobot Uh huh... I just like the 'I can do with with my enchanted monkey staff' part :D
2
It so sounds like something a 4yr old would say back to being told he could not do something
@3ventic That's fair enough. But since it's just a video, it's liable to be deleted without any warning.
@fbueckert So be it.
17:40
I think we're fair to wait a few days for explaining what exactly is happening in the video. It's pretty long after all.
Actually, I have nothing better to do right now.
Excellent. Mali no longer exists.
@Wipqozn In game, I assume?
@Powerlord Correct.
@Wipqozn Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhh
17:43
@Powerlord No, he wiped out Mali all on his own in the real world.
@fbueckert He didn't say who wiped out Mali.
ooooo, @fbueckert got told!
@OrigamiRobot Play SE V! That's a super long-term multiplayer game!
I was the one who wiped them out, but still, @Powerlord is technically correct!
@fbueckert What is that?
17:44
For that matter, he didn't say anyone wiped Mali out only that it no longer existed.
@OrigamiRobot Space Empires V. Kinda like GalCiv, but a crapton more complicated.
And it's on sale this week!
For less than $5.
And I would really like to get an Arqade group together to play it.
@fbueckert You can't relate to me with something I'm also not familiar with.
@OrigamiRobot 4X-type game. Civ-in-space is probably the simplest way to describe it.
17:45
kicks DB dev
Stop making changes to dev and then never copying them to UAT.
1 min ago, by OrigamiRobot
@fbueckert You can't relate to me with something I'm also not familiar with.
Especially when Dev is taken offline for maintenance and we now have to test against UAT which is up to date code wise, but not database wise.
4X games are a genre of strategy video game in which players control an empire and "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate". The term was first coined by Alan Emrich in his September 1993 preview of Master of Orion for Computer Gaming World. Since then, others have adopted the term to describe games of similar scope and design. 4X games are noted for their deep, complex gameplay. Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of non-military routes to supremacy. Games can take a long time to complete since the amount of micromanagement needed to ...
Now you're just making me do work.
@OrigamiRobot What do you want me to do? I tried comparing it to Civilization.
If you can't relate to that, then the best I can do is point you at the Wiki entry.
17:48
4X Games are all about being awesome.
Saying it's 4X is near meaningless to me.
Randomly generated maps, multiple ways to win (usually), resource management, and WAAAAAR.
@Wipqozn And SE V kicks it up a notch by making ships utterly customizable.
@fbueckert This is something that grabs my interest.
Research only gets you ship hulls. How you fill it is up to you.
Want a scout? Cram as many engines as you can into it, with enough supplies to survive.

@fbueckert This is something that grabs my interest.
MAn, I should play distant worlds again soon.
I never did play it that much. Good game though.
Want specialized ships that do nothing but take the hits? Cram it full of shields and point defense, and stick it at the front of your fleet formation.
@fbueckert I task you with finding me a good gameplay video of this "SE V"
Or one that explains the mechanics.
@OrigamiRobot I'll see what I can find.
Now I'm off to get my fancy coat fixed and then head home.
17:52
The supposedly huge ass learning curve is part of the reason I don't plan to join you.
@Wipqozn What if I play too?
It can be @Wipqozn and @OrigamiRobot vs @fbueckert!
Just like the gods intended.
Looks to be pretty in-depth.
@OrigamiRobot The more Arqade people who play the more likely I would be to join.
17:53
@fbueckert "SE V" = what?
@OrigamiRobot Throw @Arperum into the mix, too.
He expressed interest.
9 mins ago, by fbueckert
@OrigamiRobot Space Empires V. Kinda like GalCiv, but a crapton more complicated.
@Wipqozn The more people I know playing a game, the more likely I am to play. Assuming we can play together of course.
@Wipqozn It is massive; that's why they have a tutorial.
@OrigamiRobot Oh, btw EUIV has multiplayer.

@Wipqozn Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
17:54
@fbueckert this looks old
@kalina It is.
Wasn't it released in the 90s or something?
@fbueckert OLD
I basically want a new game to play with other people tonight.
2006
Pfft. Not even a decade.
It was a one-man dev shop that made this game.
17:56
Let's see... I was... 12 in 2006.
Right? Yeah, that's the right math.
To be sure, if anyone is interested in playing this, the time commitment will be ~an hour per week, or thereabouts.
@Unionhawk ...
@fbueckert An hour per week isn't that bad.
2 mins ago, by Unionhawk
@fbueckert OLD
It doesn't have multi-computer multiplayer capability, so we'd be reduced to doing it the old PBEM way.
17:58
I graduated high school in 2005
@Wipqozn For several months to years.
and you were 11?
@fbueckert Still only an hour per week.

@fbueckert OLD
@OrigamiRobot What about Monster Hunter?
It's not new, but it does involve other people.
17:59
@Wipqozn I am digging these empire games. I want to play one
So have I piqued enough interest yet? Or should I poll Arqade at large by making a meta post about it?
I'll look into it a bit more, but I think I'll join.
Delicious round numbers of rep
mmmmm
feels so good
yeah
My main problem is just picking up another game to chuck onto th epile, but if we only play an hour or two a week then I don't really care.
I hate playing games alone. I make @Fluttershy get on Mumble with me while I play Dark Souls so I can have someone to yell at about how much I hate the game.
18:00
@fredley downvoted
@fbueckert you're planning one turn a week?
@fredley *fixed.
I wonder if I could dragoon @TrentHawkins to join, too...
@kalina I had 29001 rep, thanks
@kalina so predictable
@TrentHawkins Basically, yeah.
At least to start.
More if people get really into it.
18:01
@fredley that wasn't actually me
why did that ping gnome...?
@fredley I used all my votes earlier in my attempt to get electorate
@fbueckert Ewww, no
which I think is bugged
@kalina Oh
18:01
since I have >600 votes, >50% of them are questions, and yet no badge
Well someone did actually downvote me, on a closed question no less
@kalina I think it's just you that is bugged.
42 secs ago, by fbueckert
More if people get really into it.
thanks Bridge, keep it classy
@Unionhawk well yes
I am properly broken
18:02
1 min ago, by Unionhawk
@fredley *fixed.
@fbueckert Even if it's a turn per day, gross.
A week is like the maximum; if you don't have your turn done by then, we go without you, and AI does your turn.
@OrigamiRobot Long term, dude. It's PBEM.
What? Are we still talking about the same game?
2 rep is literally less than throwaway rep.
5 mins ago, by fbueckert
It doesn't have multi-computer multiplayer capability, so we'd be reduced to doing it the old PBEM way.
18:03
@Unionhawk I hope you feel awful
@fbueckert dear god no - it would be difficult to keep my attention/interest for more that a couple months as is, and the start is slow as fuck just building colony ships. A month in at 1week/turn and I'd be out.
No, not doing that at all.
@fredley I don't.
53 secs ago, by Unionhawk
2 rep is literally less than throwaway rep.
@Unionhawk I will make you feel awful
@fredley GOOD
18:04
@Unionhawk I don't care about rep I care about ROUND NUMBERS
@OrigamiRobot Bah.
@fredley YOU SHOULD KNOW NOT TO ANNOUNCE YOUR ROUND NUMBERS OF REP IN HERE. WE WILL PROMPTLY FIX THAT.
@Unionhawk MOST PEOPLE ARE CIVILISED ENOUGH TO BREAK THE ROUNDNESS WITH UPVOTES
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? @FBUECKERT?
@fredley BUT THEN IT'S STILL A SEMI-ROUND NUMBER.
28998 IS NOT SEMI-ROUND
18:06
That's why I said it's a long-term game! It's like play-by-mail chess!
@fredley NO, BUT 29005 IS
@Unionhawk THATS NOT WHAT I HAVE
BECAUSE SOMEBODY DOWNVOTED
@fredley WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS, THAT'S WHY I DOWNVOTED, BECAUSE AN UPVOTE WOULD BE 29005
29005 > 28998 IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
MULTIPLES OF 5 > NOT MULTIPLES OF 5
@fbueckert Also terrible.
18:08
@OrigamiRobot At the least, check out the video. Single player moves at your own pace.
@fbueckert At least in play-by-mail chess your pawns will probably meet after a few turns.
@fredley IT WOULD APPEAR THAT I HAVE SUCCEEDED IN MY MISSION
@Unionhawk I HATE YOU
@fredley GOOD
@TrentHawkins What do you want me to say? I work with what's given. And I really enjoy it.
18:10
FEEL MY WRATH
OR SOMETHING
DON'T YOU DARE COUNTER MY HATE WITH LOVE
THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO THINGS
@RonanForman I love your script
@fredley even > odd
@fbueckert The game is enjoyable, but not at the speed you are suggesting.
18:10
@kalina Multiples of 2 unimportant
@kalina Well, see, someone upvoted as well, so now it's 29,003
It's the other factor of 10 that I'm interested in
As of last check
@Unionhawk An even worse figure
Would you guys want more frequent turns? We can do that, but it would bump up the time requirement.
18:11
I hate it
@fredley You're welcome!
@kalina Nah, it needs to be 600 votes on questions.
goddamit
> Voted on 600 questions
oh snap, alegris finally broke their aliance with the ottomans. Let's see how much of them I can annex before 1821.
18:13
another 7 days or so to go then
@Wipqozn Civ V?
@kalina Yeh, I thought the same thing.
@James Europa Universalis IV
@Wipqozn :O
They're allied with quie a few other people though...hmmm... decisions decisions
18:16
@fbueckert also, didn't we/you go down this road before? With friends in the city who actually know/enjoy the game, and can reasonably be threatened with physical violence to expedite their turn submissions?
@TrentHawkins They kinda lost interest.
What's going on?
And it's no fun to play multiplayer by myself
@Yuki urface is going on. BOOM
@Unionhawk Ah, my face exploded! Someone help me pick up the pieces!
18:18
Humpty @Yuki sat on a wall
Random passerby wants to trade!
I... don't know what this person wants.
I'm so confused.
Every offer I make gets rejected. I think this person just wants to show me their Pokemon.
@Yuki I have a plan that involves naming a bidoof something along the lines of "what did you expect?" and offer that over and over.
Hmm. Actually, if there's a way to set up a PBW server, we could probably drastically increase the speed of the game, while cutting down on the amount of manual crap that needs to happen.
The ukraine just formed. Fancy.
@Wipqozn Perogies for all!
18:29
hm, truce expires in 1818, not sure if I'll be able to annex anymore of Alegris.
Oh snap, France just went through the french revolution
@fbueckert happy? :)
@3ventic Yup. Undownvoted.
And it sets a much clearer example for newbies to not just post a video, which was the main thing I was concerned about.
@fredley I don't even what
@Unionhawk I'm not quite sure the impact this video will have on my life yet
@fredley Nightmares, likely
@Unionhawk Happy, cheerful nightmares
Excellent. 3 more provines from alegris.
Only a few months left, so I won't be able to annex anymore before game end.
annnnd that's game.
@fredley ಠ_ಠ

@Coronus norb
@fredley No way. I'm not clicking on any of your links. They used to be nice, normal Rebecca Black traps. Now, I don't know what to expect...
@Coronus Since when was clicking on my links on Friday a good idea?
> They used to be nice, normal Rebecca Black traps.
Did anyone click on my trap? :(
@Powerlord That was a trap?
18:53
@fredley No, not really.
Which makes the answer no since I didn't post a trap. See, got you to look!
Internet, I am bored. ENTERTAIN ME
@Unionhawk I think sentencing you to life in purgatory would be entertaining... to me.

Dear Hanes, a picture of the underwear will be fine. I don't need to look at men's crotches. Thanks
@OrigamiRobot They know that it's usually not the men who buy men's underwear; it's usually women buying it for their lazy husbands.
It's not about that. If it were half naked women holding the underwear it'd be just as uncomfortable.
Also, they never have the kind I like so I have to go digging through all the packages (heh) to find them.
