@5pike My biggest issue is that 60-70% of all runes I get are bow runes.
@Arperum Mh, I get tons of dagger runes.
@5pike I think I got a total of three or maybe four sword runes.
I also got two messages that you revenged my death yesterday.
@Arperum Avenging is fun, though most of those guys had a weakness to sneak attacks.
And I lured the stupid supporter out of that room on my third try, second try I ended up with my two most deadly captains in that room...
@5pike I have a captain (who is currently dead, I expect him to return anytime) who can only be killed by sneakattacks, immune to all other things, and he can't be feared or anything.
@Arperum Sneak attack captains are the easiest IMO. There is usually a ledge or a bush around, for easy dispatching.
07:15
@5pike Yea, that's why he's dead. I've gotten a lot better. I also killed my third warchief. But the fourth one has one of my two super captains as bodyguard.
I think the other one has the other supercaptain.
It's annoying really, I've nearly killed the one supercaptain multiple times already, but or I die to him or some random minion, or the fucked runs away while his minions hinder my chasing him.
Did you know, that you can upgrade your health?
I didn't. Found out yesterday. After killing the 4th Warchief.

Q: How to skip the intro videos?

BlueTrinIn Shadow of Mordor, is there a way to skip the intro videos ? They are quite alot of them and they are unskippable. I started the game and counted about 6 of them.

@5pike First upgrade I did with that currency thing.
You didn't notice that upgrade tab at all?
07:31
@Arperum I noticed the upgrade tab, but it went straight to the weapons.
@5pike So you did have the extra elf-shot and more runes and such?
@Arperum No. When I clicked on "upgrades" it went to the menu, where you can assign the runes.
It still does
It's a bit strange, but whatever. Had no problem with that limited health so far.
@5pike Yea, you have to press right trigger/whatever the big button on the back is called to switch to the other upgrades. I think it was that menu anyway.
@5pike Ah, you could get more runes through that menu too, so you had access to more than a single rune/weapon at least.
07:50
@Arperum Yeah, but most of the runes I got are not that great. I really need to "train" the captains more, instead of killing them outright.
08:08
Anyone knows of a Minecraft mod which lets you add generic liquids via configuration files? Before I go and create my own, duplicating someone's work ...

Q: Minecraft Mods FML Crashing

Teso MaynI've searched and tried numerous methods people give, none of them worked for me.

@JeffreyLin Origin just tells me it's not installed. wat
Origin uninstalled itself out of shame.
08:27
ugh, origin
08:47
@MartinSojka Don't think I've ever heard of anything like that. You want to add in a stupid amount of new liquids, with flowdistance, color, effect when swimming in it, ... through a configfile?
@Arperum Well, basically yes. You can then add recipes and interactions for them via MineTweaker/ModTweaker.
The basic idea is to allow mod pack makers to use those for inter-mod compatibility tweaks, for example creating TE (Enderium, Signalum, ...) or EnderIO (Electrical Steel, Conductive Iron, Pulsating Iron, ...) alloys via the TiC smeltery.
@MartinSojka Sounds fancy and useful for a lot of mods who now add all kinds of random liquids. If there is a unified way available, that opens more options for challenge map creators even. (Making real salt water for things like crashlanding or something as a simple example) Or a river with healing powers, but picking the stuff up returns normal water.
@MartinSojka ANd that is one more option of course.
Can the liquid metals from TiC be placed in the world currently?
Yes, they can (they all have the same effect: Slow you down to 40% and set you on fire, unless you're immune like the Nether mobs).
@MartinSojka But with your thing it would be simple to give them a custom effect each!
I actually thought about creating new liquids first, but in general, yes.
08:55
Bathing in liquid emerald might posion you while at the same time giving massive saturation or a speedboost or something.
@MartinSojka Hmmm, now I want a building with some kind of tank walls with all kinds of different liquids in them, and the liquids have a minoir color difference, so you can make it slowly go from red on one side to green on the other (random colors chosen here (red/green might actually look terrible)
Hmmm, I need a less offensive way to say "prejudiced idiot" to a prejudiced idiot.
@Arperum Bigot?
Not sure if it's less offensive.
"A person of strong, ill-founded convictions"?
Exchanging contracts for our new place on Monday
@5pike I decided to not care and just call them prejudiced idiots. (Someone on facebook had a pickpocketing attempt happen (it failed because empty pockets) and some idiot went on and started assuming that it was some random immigrant.
@Arperum On facebook, you can pretty much go ballistic with your words.

@fredley HIS HANDS ARE CUT OFF PARTLY. PANIC.

Animated gifs cause cancer.
On a sidenote: congrats on getting things done!
@Arperum We first looked round this place in May
It's been a long haul
@fredley Oh, dammit.
I first looked at my house in april, moved in beginning of june, and officially moved in, payed for it, signed final papers and everything end of june.
I might've looked at it starting from march.
ok, I was wrong. Based on my emails, it started end of february. And my bid got accepted 17th of march (an early birthday present I assume, with my birthday being the 22nd of march)
@Arperum Yeah we had some dicking around while others put in bids (one higher) then withdrew, and eventually had our offer accepted.
Then they had a tenant, and we had to wait for them to move out
@fredley Ugh.
Then their solicitors were hella slow getting everything together
And their OOO for the next few days entirely for some festival, hence having to wait until Monday
09:24
@fredley At least the house wasn't just not being lived in for a couple(4) years, because that has it's own issues. I know.

Q: How did the damage output of Tristanas rapidfire change in 4.18?

Philipp SanderFrom the 4.18 patchnotes: Q - Rapid Fire DURATION: 5 seconds (was 7 seconds) BONUS ATTACK SPEED 30/50/70/90/110% attack speed (was 30/45/60/75/90%) How did the damage output change, during the duration? Is it more or less?

09:46
@Arperum couple(4) == 8?
@fredley nah, just 4, I wrote a couple, then decided to be more specific.
@Arperum couple === 2
couple has no other value than 2
@fredley I should've said a few. But in Dutch "een paar" is generally 2, but is also used for a few, not many.
@Arperum See that's just odd. We'd say a pair, but a pair is also exactly two
A pair of shoes is never 3
A pair of trousers... wait
Is left and right.
09:50
@fredley To the happeninmobile
doom paul spins for a few seconds
(btw free ytmnd concept there)
@fredley We differentiate with capitalization - ein Paar = 2, ein paar = >2
@5pike That's just crazy. How do you even pronounce capitalization.
@Arperum In speech, you get it with the context.
As usual
@5pike In most cases, not guaranteed.
(But I understand what you mean, as it's the same in dutch, except that you need to use the context too when written.
@Arperum Not having exact rules for written language and huge shitstorms whenever a government-sponsored committee decides on some minimal changes after years of consultation and debate? Madness!
09:57
@MartinSojka Exactly! You should launch shitstorms only for stupidities. They are to valuable to waste on something that actually matters.

Q: What does “a couple” mean to you, and what does “a few” mean to you?

zuludelta9What does “a couple” mean to you, and what does “a few” mean to you? Is there a proper way to use it? It was striking to hear that “a couple” meant two (2) to someone. My reaction was, “how/why do you make a short word longer by adding an extra syllable to just say ‘two?’” I think Few: 2-3, C...

Looking back, I notice that I started this paragraph with "there's some good news." I don't know why I did that.

Matthieu NapoliI read everywhere that I can set launch options to have a better screen resolution with SimCity 4.

Q: To Clan, or not to Clan?

HowlinWulfWhat are the benefits and/or the intended point in being part of a Clan in Diablo III?

@Lazers Why do people make bad use of bold italics in questions?
cripes. If you invested $50 a month for just 20 years at 12%, you'd have $1,835,127.80
And if you invested (not in stocks, just put into the bank) $50 a month for 50 years at 12%, you'd have $2,011,622.31. Good grief
@RPiAwesomeness Which bank gives 12%?
@5pike Dunno. Some sort of long term savings or something like that I'm guessing.
@RPiAwesomeness If you find one, that's not a scam, tell me.
11:52
:)
ikr
6% is far less impressive.
@RPiAwesomeness The best % rate you can get here, is 1.5%
@5pike I figured. I'm just messing about with an interest calculator
It sucks that PCPartPicker only works via Chromium on my laptop :P
I much prefer Firefox.
Dear Viacom/Comedy Central/The Daily Show:
You know I'm Canadian (by my IP). You know I can watch Daily Show clips on the Canadian affiliate (The Comedy Network).

Sincerely, An Occasional Viewer
Oh, and Comedy Network only carries about a month of Daily Show video on their site. THANKS OBAMA!

Q: Is there any strategy for the Fidgeting Writer storyline?

LohorisUsing a Tale of Terror you can start an object-based storyline: at every step, you trade one object for the next one, risking a failure and go back to start, or yield and get a reward. The chances of success at every step seem to be ~60-70%, so since the steps are many, there aren't really many ...

Bloody hell, Android is terrible if you don't have a Nexus
Just setting up a SGS5 and Sony Experia something for testing, and my god it's awful
beautiful hardware but the experience is terrible!
@fredley Setting up the phones themselves or the debugging?
They're fresh out of the box so I'm setting them up
Yeah, the Samsung software is the main thing that would turn me off from a galaxy device
12:59
@fredley You mean customer setup? I mean, yeah, Samsung is garbage.
You're right
Samsung is just terrible
Swiping down the notification draw almost made me gag
They spend too much time on gizmos like a tray icon that says whether or not the phone thinks you're looking at the screen to actually make things better in any way
It's basically not even android. It's pretty much its own fucking thing, except it uses the play store so technically...
Opening the app draw on the Sony, something slid out from the side over the app I tried to open. I didn't see what it was. Now it's stuck in some silly mode I can't get out of
@fredley multitasking?
13:02
No, it was some easy uninstall mode. No default apps are uninstallable.
sigh
So it just has the app drawer grayed out with no apps clickable. You can only exit this mode by clicking home, then back into the app drawer.
HEY YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE OUR DEVICE BETTER IF WE BUNDLED SOME GARBAGE EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCES TO IT
BUT MANAGER USER TESTING SAYS THAT PEOPLE UNINSTALL OUR EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCES ON SIGHT
WE SHALL FIX THAT BY REMOVING THE OPTION TO UNINSTALL THEM
HOORAY
HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND
Sony notification drawer also reskinned, though they did do a better job
WHY CHANGE SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD INTO SOMETHING THAT IS LESS GOOD

Days since I've had a frozen song in my head: 0. Thanks @arperum. You monster.
Number of frozen songs I have heard: 0
13:20
I've figuratively never heard a frozen song.
You will.
One day you will.
You never even heard "Will You Help Me Hide a Body?"
@Unionhawk You're welcome.
@3ve in fact, I'd wager they have and don't know it
@MartinSojka cc @uni
13:22
Literally, this summer, every single female on staff would sing frozen things.
I was actually making some variation about letting sanity go in my head.

Q: Exploring ship wrecks in Assassin's Creed Black Flag

Young GuiloWhen exploring ship wrecks you are attacked sometimes by sharks and eels. Is there any way to avoid these creatures? Is there a weapon that you can use that I'm just not seeing? It seems that they can't attack me when I'm in an air barrel. But is that the only way?

@Lazers Gah. Just missed retagging before it dumped it here.

Q: Can we talk about Minecraft Mods?

Young GuiloSome mods aren't fully completed in Minecraft so there are many questions to be asked. Is it okay to ask these questions or do they go under a category of "Don't ask these questions"?

Wait, ac black flag gas aggressive eels?
That's so incorrect it hurts.
Has*... Stupid mobile

OK, wtf, even after changing the SSH port to 995, it's still blocked. Maybe I should have chosen something more random.

Q: Divorcing Your Wife in MCA

Young GuiloIn the Minecraft Mod "Minecraft comes Alive" you can marry villagers and have kids. The problems is I made a serious mistake in marrying someone who's traits are often "Rude/Obnoxious". Is there any way to divorce her or do I have to commit an old fashioned murder?

13:30
@martin sounds like @frank's theme song
@Powerlord There could also be DPI going on that's detecting that you're trying to connect to an SSH server.
@MBraedley Possibly.
After all, trying to connect to port 22 now just gets me connection refused.

Q: My Kid died with diamond armor

Young GuiloIn Minecraft Comes Alive (MCA) you can have your children equip armor. However my son died and he had diamond armor. Of course it's probably gone now but could I have gotten it? If I found my son's body could I have gotten the diamond armor back?

13:37
@Lazers Oh, his ban expired.
Who is this mod author and why have they made this thing
@Sterno Your face is an inferior face.
Actually I do have one question. I should ask it.
nah, it's bad question
Okay, I'll allow it since it also reskins villagers
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
13:41
I was concerned that the mod had you marrying vanilla villagers
Also I love how the mod author saved mod review people a step and used the same font all of them use.
@Unionhawk It does. It just extends them and changes their appearance.
It doesn't add new types of villages like Millénaire or MineColony.
Meh. Appearance is the main creepiness of the idea of marrying villagers
user15026
Woo, mobile police unit handling a standoff in a house two streets over from mine. Might take a different route for my walk today, if it still is a thing in a while...
You can always switch to the MobTalker variants of the vanilla villagers (only in dialogue menu though, IIRC).
user15026
(I swear my neighborhood isn't all bad)
@AshleyNunn How exciting.
user15026
@wipqozn something like that...
Our tags for minecraft mods are somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes we use , sometimes we have a specific tag for them, like redstone/bukket/whatever. How do we know when to use which tag?
(REDSTONE IS NOT A MOD)
@OrigamiRobot It has it's own tag, however.
13:56
I'M AWARE
I WAS JUST CLARIFYING
@Frank I guess it depends on the mod. mods that are packs (feed the beast) definitely need their own tag. and single mods that can get very complex (computercraft, industrialcraft, thaumcraft, etc) could use their own tag as well. mods that make small changes and tweaks can fit in the encompassing mod tag
@Wipqozn It's his fifth question in about an hour... One of which is on meta.
Is complexity a good indicator of requiring a tag?
@Arperum After a year of hiatus, he needs to get some questions out quick.
A good indicator of when to make a new subtag for a game are when there is an entire knowledge base specifically around that subtag, that players can optionally ignore if they are not interested in it. Classes in D3, redstone in Minecraft, etc. I don't know if or how this would apply to mods...
14:00
Speaking of bans, I was wondering why meme scientist got hit by one.
@Frank Size will probably help too. ANd mod questions still need the basegame tag.
@5pike So long as they're better than his previous questions, I have no issues with several questions at once.
(I saw an answer of his and saw he only had 1 rep)
@Frank Yeah, as long as they are on-topic...

Q: What can I do against moderators with double standards?

euphoria overlordOn Arqade I re-edited a question title to make it a tad clearer, along the same lines as other users have suggested we post titles. I was heckled to oblivion, with comments telling me that titles were up to the OP in the end, and it was not my place to judge that. So I went back to a previous qu...

14:02
@Frank yeah, but the problem is there is just so many mods that arqade will eventually become minecraft.se... more than it already is.
@Rapitor If the quality is there, then that's what matters.
@StrixVaria For Minecraft, we may want to figure out a more consistent method of how to tag mods. There's arguments to be made for just using a generic , and also for using mod-specific tags for each one.
@Frank I love shog9.
Disregarding the ban, which I don't have enough information to comment on, rolling back his edit on his question title does seem a bit like a double standard.
14:08
@JasonBerkan Based on several pieces of information provided by him, it was pretty obvious he was throwing a tantrum.
THROWING A TANTRUM DOES NOT INVALIDATE WHAT THE TANTRUM IS BEING THROWN OVER
He's also misrepresenting exactly what happened. The rollback was done in bad faith, rather than a good faith attempt to conform to our standards.
It was him attempting to take the legalistic approach.
1. He modified Strix's question to make the title less shocking.
2. He was told that wasn't necessary.

SkynetI am trying to create a game server for the game 7 Days to Die but I am running into a problem. This is the file I was told to use when starting the server. rem rem Starts a dedicated server rem rem -quit, -batchmode, -nographics: Unity commands rem -configfile : Allows server settings...

3. He edited his question back to a shocking title.
14:14
I'd say the standard is "Don't mess with the titles in either direction unless really necessary".
Don't fix what ain't broke, basically.
2
Another thing I'd say is that you shouldn't bend over backwards to try to remove context from your title. If there's a natural context-less title, and the author uses it, that's fine.
@OrigamiRobot But trying to have a rational discussion with a user throwing a tantrum is nearly impossible. Until that user calms down, there is little to be done to address their concerns.
I still don't like it, as it looks like a double standard. But that's all I'm going to say. He's free to argue the question title on meta when he gets back.
Hey guys. Just briefly, I'm sorry for any trouble or inconvenience I caused you.
@YoungGuilo You've done your time. Welcome back.
14:29
@YoungGuilo You've made some great Minecraft posts once you got the rules down
@YoungGuilo If you're referring to the last 25 minutes of discussion, you're not the subject.
@MBraedley I didnt't even see that. But yes it is about me.
@YoungGuilo This latest discussion? Nope, it isn't.
I suppose that's, "wasn't", now. Since the discussion has ended.
@Arperum Aye. It's a pain in the ass since you run the chance of getting an epic rune instead when killing warchiefs (and you need the level 25 rune specifically for the achievement)
I have a love/hate relationship with AutoMapper
14:33
@Sterno What doesn't it do?
@Frank love/hate @Sterno
Oooh, drama alert in backscroll!
@Frank Maps properties from one object to another.
@Sterno Not really. As drama goes, it's pretty meh.
@Sterno More like drama rehash.
Somewhat automatically, but in actuality almost never automatically
14:33
@Sterno Oh, so not the Etrian Odyssey mapper thingie.
Probably better than SQL's copy database functionality.
@MBraedley I'm not making any comment at all about his behavior. I am saying that the tantrum is completely independent as to whether or not there was actually a double standard.

@GraceNote Where does synonym magic fall into this?
@SaintWacko How goes book 2?
@Frank I finished book 2 yesterday. I'm on book 3
14:44
Which book are you reading?
@Sterno Did you get killed by Maku the Slayer? Or something like that?
@Wipqozn the Honor Harrington series.
@SaintWacko Damn. You're really running through them.
@Frank They're really good :D
@SaintWacko Then I guess we're even. :P
You introduced me to Emberverse. I gave you Honor Harrington.
@SaintWacko! versus... Metal @Frank!
14:46
@Powerlord Wait, what? Since when am I made of metal?
@Frank I was just going for an uneven version of a Smash Bros. Classic announcement.
@Powerlord You're playing too much Smash Bros.
Well, Smash Bros. 4 Classic mode announcement.
Vs. mode and All Star mode don't do announcements.
I swear, I die more on All-Star mode from stage mechanics than I do the actual enemies.

Q: Cannibals and villagers?

Young GuiloIn the Minecraft Mod Oceancraft there is a new mob called cannibals. The main question that I have is can the cannibal kill the villager?

Q: Zombies and Turtle Shells

Young GuiloIn the Minecraft Mod Oceancraft there are two new weapons/armor. The Narwhal Horn and the turtle shell. With this new form of renweable weapons and armor I'm wondering.... can zombies and skeletons equip this armor? Or because it's a mod do the just hold it?

Q: The Giant Crab in Minecraft

Young GuiloIn Oceancraft you can find Giant crabs which you can ride like a horse or pig. However I can't seem to find one. What is the probability that a giant crab will appear spawned and when you break a shell?

and in All-Star mode, you only get one life to fight the other 49 players.
14:49
I'm not sure what exactly defines a "space opera" but hearing something described with that term still makes me not want to read it.
@StrixVaria I'm not sure what the exact definition is, but Star Trek and the like fall into it.
@Powerlord Star Trek is difficult to watch because it feels like nothing that ever happens this episode matters in any future episodes.

A: What can I do against moderators with double standards?

Shog9Well, there are a few popular strategies here, and considerable debate as to which is the "best"... I'll lay them out and leave the decision up to you. The Archivist This strategy involves carefully monitoring a moderator's activity over time, potentially many months or even years. Notes are ta...

This is amazing
@StrixVaria Well, the point is that it focuses more on characters and situations rather than just battles and such.
I feel like this should be linked to in the tour/help center
14:53
@Powerlord Although there are lots of battles in it, too.
@Powerlord I see. I guess with a non-100%-episodic nature like Star Trek that could actually be enjoyable.
Described in fantastic detail.
@Frank :D
@Frank I tend to skim over action scenes.
@Frank That's why I said "rather than just battles" instead of "rather than battles"
14:53
@OrigamiRobot Yes, we are able to determine if he was subjected to a double standard or not. However, we are not able to communicate that determination or proceed to a resolution while he is being hot headed. My point of view is that trying to make that determination when we can't proceed beyond that point isn't worth our time.
@StrixVaria You may enjoy DS9 then. It has lot more continuity than the other Treks, especially the later seasons.
@StrixVaria You'd be doing yourself a disservice when it comes to Honor Harrington, then.
As for space operas, I like the Vorkosigan saga and the Honor Harrington series.
When a bunch of people are fighting each other, all I need to know is who injured/maimed/killed who at the end of it, and the rest of it is kind of meh.
Except for one particular scene in Words of Radiance which was amazing.
He makes a great attempt to make the tech hang together, even if it's in the far future.

Q: Seagulls in Minecraft?

Young GuiloSeagulls are a new mob in Oceancraft. How ever they are pesky to catch. They can be bred however but how I have no idea. I have managed to capture two in an aviary but I have no way of breeding them. What do you need to breed seagulls?

Those series you definitely have to read in a sort of order as events have lasting consequences.
@Powerlord The Vorkosigan books are awesome.
@Frank I like books with magic. I honestly couldn't care less if sci fi science makes sense along with real-life modern science, as long as everything in the book is internally consistent.
I say sort of order because Lois McMaster Bujold likes going back and filling in events she left open in previous books.
I guess I could give space opera a try sometime, to see if I actually like it instead of assuming I won't with literally no basis.
14:56
@StrixVaria It might as well be magic; it's totally outside the realm of feasibility.
I just like him going into more detail than, "This is a missile. It goes fast and blows up."
I'll look into Vorkosigan because naming your main character "Honor" is on the level of Neal Stephensen naming his protagonist "Hiro Protagonist".
@Lazers so many questions
@StrixVaria She's actually not all that honorable.
She tears a swath through people she gets mad at.
