Nothing works except: whole-post quoting and whole-post code formatting. To do those put a > or four spaces on every single line. Including those that would otherwise be empty.
I'm currently trying to obtain the best equipment possible in preparation for the final boss and the survival dungeon. However, in order to do so, I need to take on a challenge of a...decidedly different nature from anything else in the game. I need to spend my time fishing.
Unfortunately, it se...
Does anyone know, or have some speculation, as to what the "New Biome Code" in Minecraft 1.8 means? Will this change the number or types of biomes, or will it change the way the transfer into each other, or something else entirely?
I totally agree. I think that they fell out the tree house and the sister landed first. And at the end if you look past where the sister is sitting theres the ladder and then a big tree with wooden "steps" on it...It also leads me to thinking its a Tree House because at the end Menu if you look u...
Yesterday, Alex Miller posted over on Meta.SO about a potential match-making service between our developer and user communities (namely Android, Apple and gaming enthusiasts). You can check out his original post, but the gist of it is that we have great developers and user communities on the site...
I am playing a human wizard, and I just killed a monster, leaving a corpse on the ground. How do I tell whether it is safe to eat this corpse?
I leave the monster unspecified because I am interested in "how can I figure out whether this is edible," rather than whether any particular monster is e...
@GraceNote I just noticed this, do you mind if I add in the more technical details of rotting? That is, the amount of turns a corpse stays guarenteed safe to eat?
@ArdaΞ While a usable statistic of sorts, I've generally always preferred to recommend "never eat unless you just made that corpse" over tracking the actual rot rate.
Go ahead if you'd like though.
It'll bump the question and that's a win in my book.
One thing the Gaming.SE has that other SE's don't seem to is an abundance of eye-catching, peculiar questions that, when taken out of context, are hilarious. These questions get a ton of views and get quickly linked and shared among communities (at least among the six members of CHAOS here at SE)...
@ArdaΞ Generally, unless you're insane or a priest, you don't bother to check the beatitude of a corpse you just made. But that is a fair point indeed.
Cursed just has a chance of reducing the satiation gain, unless it's a Wraith corpse, but otherwise there's not so much an issue there, if I'm not mistaken. I might be confusing it with nother system, though.
Today, I was foolish enough to use the rollback button. Now on stack overflow I no longer have 3 silver badges and 14 bronze badges. My joy in opening the website every day in a pinned tab in Chrome is severely diminished now. FML
I know that badges once given can't be taken away. What's the nex...

Also, there's a huge list of monsters you shouldn't eat.
kobolds, rabid rats, baby green dragons, vampire bats (poisons you, no beneficial effect except nutrition; okay for poison-resistant characters like orcs, barbarians or if you have acquired poison resistance) bats and stalkers (stuns you for a while; see above for benefits to eating stalkers) mimics (you can't move for a while) cockatrice, chickatrice, Medusa (you die of stoning; okay if you're petrification resistant) Death, Famine, Pestilence (you die) green slimes (slimes you) your own race (cannibalism gives you the aggravate monster intrinsic unless you're a caveman or orc)
@ArdaΞ Unlike the stoning resistant options, sickness resistance is... only possessed by weak stuff that will crumble to the actual might of anything that will inflict sickness on you.
@ArdaΞ By the time I'm actually dealing with both sickness inducing corpses and polymorph, I'll have enough K-Rations to carry me to the end-game. And if you're unlucky, polymorph shock could make the whole experience a net loss.
I have to wonder how much keyboard macros can really help in sc2. Are there really key sequences which can improve mechanics? I am skeptical but I've never tried it. I guess I can boil it down to this principle:
If the sequence is simple enough to be macro'd, isn't it extremely easy to just do ...
How many wired controllers can fit on an Xbox 360? I've heard just 2, but other people say that there is another port in the back, and still others say that there is a hub that you can connect to an Xbox 360. What is the maximum number of wired controllers that you have been able to fit on your X...
I love retro-games! What kid from the 80's doesn't! I'm also a software engineer by trade. Recently, I've also had to transition into designing actual embedded computer hardware which has meant that I'm having to learn information about electronics as well as refreshing myself on the specifics ...
Depending on how last election's results were, if the 4th place candidate was close then we select that one. Otherwise we may have to do other measures.
Okay, with the exception of StarCraft I, every game I've installed with with Wine will not run (I've tried C&C 3, Worms Armageddon, and Rome Total War). All the games install fine, but when I try to run them (from the winefile), the screen flickers a bit (like it's trying to close out winefil...
Okay, this should be an easy one:
One of my favorite games for Playstation (the original) was a game where you had a few (three?) pill-shaped men, who ran around gathering blocks from the terrain. These blocks could be brought back to your base, and, depending how many you had and what shape yo...
@John well, if you'd like news updates from our server, you can check things out here on facebook, but the owner doesn't really update it, and I haven't been on much lately.
@Powerlord - I'm working on a ruby script to mod Dwarf Fortress RAWs en masse. I forget what exactly I was looking for help with, but I figured it out, so all's well.
Damnit, whoever starred that! I was just about to check the link in the list of starred messages, and you managed to push the link off the list just as I was moving my mouse to click it! >.<
@RavenDreamer That's not a surprise. They redesigned a lot of their old world content, but high level characters don't spend their time there. Oh, and they added half the usual amount of high level content last expansion.
That, and rumor had it a lot of people only returned temporarily to what Blizzard changed, then left again.
@RavenDreamer From 0 to 85, yeah, but it was shorter than the usual expansion time from the previous max level because you only had half as many levels.
Ha, that reminds me of a TF2 command I had installed at one point. It lets you toggle a mode on people to make everything they say get replaced be a random phrase from a list of phrases.
