5:01 PM
Drinking water after Red Bull is the most disgusting thing.
 
@Sterno The beginning went really fast this time. That probably cut a good 30 minutes off!
 
@StrixVaria I was counting restarts in that 60 hours
 
Oh, right.
 
I've got 65 hours on record and I'm probably 2/3rds through
Though I was probably idle for some of that
 
@Yuuki Cranberry Red Bull or GTFO
 
5:05 PM
Congrats @PrivatePansy!

@Unionhawk SPIDERS
 
Spacing is hard.

reports @Yuuki for cruelty to spiders
 
I tried fixed font but it broke the reply
And I gave up

I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED
 
This got boring 5 minutes ago.

Q: What is the screen that appears after the hero selection with coloured bars and numbers?

AjoyIn Heroes of Newerth, when you join a game, after you and all others have selected the heroes, there is a count down, after that a screen appears showing all player names on either side of the screen, but with coloured bars moving slowly towards the middle. As the colored bars reach the middle as...

 
@Arperum another excellent recommendation, thanks
 
5:20 PM
wouldn't want to let the rest of the house get any heat
you can thank my sister for the blurry ass photo
 
I guess I know what I'm getting @TrentHawkins for his birthday.
 
@GnomeSlice Can you flip people off in it?
 
@Yuuki How good is the pirate activity in your magical system by the way? I'm thinking about heading that way, since I found an anarchy system with basically just pirates and a couple of bounty hunters
Except a lot of them have alliance bounties and I'm in the middle of Empire space >_>
 
@Unionhawk It seems to be fairly good, although I'll be switching to Solo Play for the time being.
 
5:32 PM
Lots of players?
 
The good thing is that no matter what bounties you get, it's fairly simple to cash them in.
 
Who found this spot on Reddit?
 
@Unionhawk Don't want to risk getting ganked again.
 
@Yuuki I'll probably go with Private Group

Q: Pokemon tag rules

pinckermanOn most Pokemon questions people add the pokemon tag, but it's often removed in the first edit by other users. So my question is: is it wrong to use that tag for a question about a specific game? If so, what's its purpose?

 
5:33 PM
@Unionhawk That's also a good idea.
 
@Yuuki Since Private Group means (atm) you and the paper robot
Though I might go solo if that jerk steals one more anaconda from me
 
Hey I finally fixed a pokemon tag thing based on that answer I made before I was a mod.
 
synonyms to the series. But that probably happened right now and is what you're talking about
 
@Sterno No.
 
@SepiaLazers Pokemon tag sucks!
 
5:35 PM
@Rapitor So because I'm something of a wierdo too, I should buy Elite: Dangerous?
 
Our tag should probably have the alias. Or, really, should have tome4 as the alias.
2
 
@MBraedley a handful of the bridge plays and enjoys it
 
But definitely at least the first one
 
what's tome4?
why 4?
 
@Unionhawk Yes, I just did that.
 
5:36 PM
(Can you tell I'm just searching for justification to spend the requisite money in order to own this game?)
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, I just unlazied and saw
 
i don't think its for everyone, but its definitely worth a look at. watch videos and stuff
 
It's a fun game. I'm enjoying it.
 
you are a spaceship and you do things
thats basically it
 
@GnomeSlice Because it's the fourth iteration of the engine it's built on
 
5:37 PM
oh
 
flying into suns. poking things a billion times stronger than you. trying to successfully land
 
But someone who buys "Tales of Maj'Eyal" on steam is not going to know to look for "tome4" here.
 
@Rapitor Pretty much. You don't really see pilots inside, so I'm under the assumption that you are the actual spaceship
Also, I got a docking computer to see what it did last night, and it's pretty much exactly what it says on the tin
Automatic park assist
 
would be a better tag, yes
 
You perform a docking request, fly to the opening, then throttle to zero, and the ship parks itself
 
5:39 PM
or whatever the one you said was
 
It's also a waste of a slot on a small ship
 
Should I meta this up or can one of you mod types handle it?
Or do I need to do the super slow process of getting a score of 5 in the tag first?
 
@Unionhawk i'm good at parking in starports and stuff, its outposts that are problematic
 
@Rapitor With the number of times I've shot feds at AE, I've gotten good at outposts
 
i always come in at the wrong orientation and have to turn around
 
5:42 PM
Yeah
 
I think having it on a large ship would be very helpful, but like I said, waste of a slot on a small ship.
Also it eliminates the favorite pastime of the paper robot: speeding past the cops with nothing to hide
 
lol
i can afford a cobra that i will actually gain a profit if ai buy it
but i don't know
i'm really liking my little adder
 
@Batophobia that is the worst colour your farts could ever be
when your farts are that colour - run
 
@Chippies Why, what colour are your farts normally?
 
5:45 PM
Can we not talk about farts
 
No, farts are a very crucial topic to the current timeline
 
Maturity level: bridge
 
@fredley to others they're clear colour, in my mind they're just a slight tint of green
 
changing the topic now could result in destroying the future

Q: What would happen if I deflect a Ghast's fireball and it hits a pigman?

TimWould the pigman be aggressive at me or the ghast or nothing?

 
brown farts are the worst
 
you mean sharts?
 
Brown farts are probably no longer just farts
 
Frankly, red is a worse colour. Possibly the worst.
 
Oh god why
 
5:47 PM
 
@Unionhawk internal bleeding, most likely
 
Clearly I need a lifehack question about how to strap cookie sheets to my feet if I lack duct tape. — Sterno 11 secs ago
HACKCEPTION
 
er, nevermind
Maybe that's not appropriate in here

it seems @gnomeslice has leveled up self-control
 
@MattGiltaji But he can only learn 4 moves!
 
5:51 PM
@Rapitor Now I need to watch Cowboy Bebop again
 
What should @GnomeSlice forget?
 
What?
 
@GnomeSlice I think he means what move
 
@GnomeSlice has forgotten What? to learn self-control
 
What are you talking about
 
5:52 PM
Never played Pokemon, @GnomeSlice?
 
No, but I got the reference despite
still what

Q: Synonym request: Tome-4 needs a tag synonym of Tales-of-Majeyal

SternoOr tales-of-maj-eyal. I don't know exactly what we do with apostrophes. The game name is Tales of Maj'Eyal. This is how it appears on Steam. Tome-4 is not a terrible tag for people familiar with the development of the game, but for newbies who pick it up on Steam and google for an answer, they'r...

 
Hi.
 
What type is @GnomeSlice? Can he learn Gust?
 
5:58 PM
What, why
What's gust
 
@Rapitor nose towards the number
 
@JasonBerkan I don't get it
 
@fredley Yes, he is an honorary flying type after all his hours of Skydrift.
 
I don't even have that many
like 30 hours
Nobody plays online any more
 
6:00 PM
@StrixVaria Flying/Fighting?
 
And I have 3stars in everything in the campaign
 
@fredley Flying/Dark I'd say.
 
@Yuuki is a coward
 
My leaderboard times have probably fallen a bit
 
Open Play or die.

Shoot better!
 
JERK
 
I'm not the one who came to your system!
 
True
I moved on
I'm in an anarchy system, where pretty much everyone has at least 10k

Q: Is it possible to put a Steam game onto a USB drive and have it work without a direct way to install Steam?

Shadow Z.At my school programing class, our teacher encouraged us to gather other types of video game design software to allow us to make more complex games, instead of just the base Greenfoot and Bluejay games. I remembered I had RPG Maker VX Ace on my computer at home, so now I am stuck at how I would g...

Q: What does flight assist do? Is there any reason to disable it?

UnionhawkI noticed in the controls there's a button to disable flight assist, but when I press it, I have a harder time controlling my ship. Is there any real benefit to disabling flight assist? Or is it just a hardmode for people with a HOTAS?

Q: How do I get little enough stuff to please the Pope?

Peter G.I had no problem pleasing the Pope the first time around, but now that I need to get the 5 Enlightenments, I'm stuck. I have $0, FL0, B0, T0, S0/25, W9/25, C0, E1. Workers don't count as things do they? If so, how do I get rid of workers? Do I need to get one more and then I can have 10 go to the...

Q: Gamers: 90's NES game, do you know what it is?

HansI believe that a gamers Q&A site is the best place to ask this question, also, I found that the question is off-topic if I actually don't add screenshots or a piece of audio. Well I'm looking for a NES game that I used to play when I was a kid, the game had only one screen in each level (what I ...

 
@Frank SO CRAFTY
 
Screenshot, but so generic as to be useless.
@Sterno It's like your patented screenshot of blackness!
 
How the hell do you "lose the rest of the screenshot"?
@Frank I don't remember that but it sounds like me.
 
6:04 PM
That's impressive
 
 
@Sterno pretty sure he drew it in paint
 
I am 100% sure that this can only come from one game!!

SternoOpening the floodgates?

6:06 PM
To remind @Sternold of his semi-trollish behaviour.
 
@Blem Even better in gif form
 
@GnomeSlice thats why i made the Gif
 
Well fine
 
Kinda want to see it in reverse now
 
Make one of Spoon Taped to Wall
 
6:07 PM
I was going to say "Pong" but, to the asker's credit, it can't be that
 
@Frank I wrote a cogent, valid meta response!
 
@Sterno It only took 2.5 years for your prediction to come to pass!
 
@OrigamiRobot i often dont even see the number. i use the actual pad. theres a platform that comes up, the thrusters should face that
 
I understand how it works, but I can't make my brain accept that
Stupid brain
 
6:09 PM
The actual pad as opposed to what?
 
@Tatermancer Also, Hi
 
Is it going home time yet?
 
the ramp is easier for me to spot when approaching
 
As opposed to what?
 
6:10 PM
no ramp?
i don't know
 
They all have ramps
 
:l
thats what i line up with
 
"I use the actual pad"
What else would you use?
 
I line up with the number so I know which I'm docking with
It's a good marker
 
you said use the floating number
 
6:12 PM
@Frank There's no statute of limitations on being right.
 
i use the compass and the pad itself
 
@Sterno Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better.
 
I feel amazing.
 
I didn't say I use the number.
But that's an easy way to tell which direction you need to face.
You can see the number well before you can see the ramp.

Q: -=-Minecraft [Premium]-=- Sorry but we couldn't connect to our servers

ph0sph0rWhen i try to log in to my minecraft premium account it says: Sorry but we couldn't connect to our servers. Plese make sure that you are online, and that Minecraft is not blocked. I tried with offing firewall, i updated java (64bit) and its not working. And yea, im using WiFi internet. Plese help...

 
6:14 PM
I use the "if it's not working, turn the ship around".
 
If you already know about the ramp and the number, you should never not know which way you're supposed to face.
 
I always have trouble with docks right at the door
 
Edit suggested to the last question.
 
I should make a list of those
 
Pretty sure the numbers change
> "Online, the [Majora's] Mask bundle sold out within 15 minutes," an official said. "However, customers can still order one by visiting any of our stores. This order will have to be paid in-full at a store, and can be shipped to the customers home, rather than having to go to the store for pick-up."
 
6:18 PM
That was quick. I used to wait hours for an edit to get approved on Super User before I hit 2k.
 
Yea, they "sold out" online so now you have to go to the store.
Fuck you, GameStop
 
@OrigamiRobot ffs
 
@OrigamiRobot Are these bundles exclusive to GameStop?
 
I've noticed a pattern I thought
 
6:19 PM
There might be no pattern though
And I might be crazy
Actually, no, I'm definitely crazy
 
But that's the only place that has it listed ATM
 
@OrigamiRobot Then "Fuck you, Gamestop" is the right attitude.
 
It's never the wrong attitude.
 
"Fuck you, Gamestop" is the right attitude in all situations
"Elite servers didn't notify me of maintenance this time and just logged me out. Fuck you, Gamestop"
 
@Unionhawk Indeed.

Q: How can I find out how many Science Stockpiles have I activated?

svickI'm currently playing as Cultists, which means I get a lot of Industry and Science Stockpiles. As I understand it, I can use at most stockpile per turn (and per city in the case of Industry Stockpiles). With Industry Stockpiles, it's easy to check how many activated stockpiles (or "boosters") ar...

 
(that actually happened last night. While I was pursuing a 30k. Oh well)
 
I still go to the local EB Games sometimes, when Best Buy or Future Shop doesn't have a game I'm looking for.
 
@Frank NOOOOOOO
 
@Powerlord It's much rarer now than it used to be.
 
(wait, is EB Games in Canada part of GameStop like EB Games in the US is?)
 
6:22 PM
@Powerlord Yes
When I want a game, unfortunately it's almost a guarantee they'll have it.
 
fuck all third party game retailers
 
RIP Blockbuster
 
@OrigamiRobot ><
Nintendo needs to give more stock to Amazon.
Stupid GameStop-exclusives....
 
It's not exclusive
 
It's just not anywhere else yet?
 
6:25 PM
They're just the only site that has it listed right now
 
The actual game isn't out for months
 
@Unionhawk Month*
 
Is it?
I saw 12/31/15 somewhere
Yeah that's not right
gtfo amazon
I'll probably get at least the game
I can't really afford a new 3ds
Like, at all
 
@Yuuki Nintendo has consistently had trouble keeping up with demand for its physical products
 
It seems like a significantly superior device, but I also can't afford it
 
6:29 PM
@Unionhawk #universitystudentproblems
 
I need to coop and make bank
Like, $20 an hour bank
 
Fire Emblem Awakening had a 3-5 week lead time from Amazon.com direct for a while
 
@DragonLord "wait you want to give us money?"
 
@DragonLord They consistently underestimate demand for their product on purpose, I think. The couple of times they didn't have been really bad.
 
> Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks
This is not acceptable.
 
6:31 PM
@Unionhawk 10 hours to N3DS
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, well, that will happen at the soonest Fall 15
 
The issue is when they overshoot demand expectations and then product just sits on the shelves.
From what I recall, when Nintendo overshoots, they overshoot bad.
 
Possibly later since apparently one of the classes I need is only offered in fall (fuuuu) though I'm already looking at at least 1 semester
Actually that works out
 
They'd much rather undershoot and drive up demand rather than have too much supply.
 
1 coop rotation, classes in spring, then fall...
Then spring as my final +1 semester for the full victory lap

RC & Scale Modeling

Proposed Q&A site for all hobbyists interested in modeling and RC controlled devices. From paint to flight, from fabrication to performance tuning.

Currently in definition.

 
The former may be unacceptable to customers, but the latter is devastating to their bottom line.
And the bottom line will always be more important to a company.
 
Nintendo has more than enough money to handle that though
 
I wonder why Amazon did not give the "This item is in high demand and supplies from the manufacturer are limited" warning
 
When aren't supplies limited
 
6:34 PM
@OrigamiRobot When it comes to a business, I don't think there is such a thing as having "more than enough money".
 
@Yuuki "to handle that"
 
@OrigamiRobot Nintendo was struggling with money for a short while, I think they've recovered by now.
 
Between Smash and Mario Kart I think probably
 
I CAN EDIT TAG WIKIS WITHOUT APPROVAL
20k, I'll never sneer at you again
 
@Sterno Oh, I thought you meant at Lifehacks.
 
6:37 PM
@Wipqozn You need a lifehack for avoiding Lifehacks
 
Supposedly one of their users is in the process of writing up a meta post that will solve all the sites problems.
 
I probably won't believe it when I see it
 
@Wipqozn And I'm breeding a goose that lays golden Majora's Mask N3DSs.
 
@Yuuki does it hurt?
 
I guess I'm going to GameStop after work. Who wants to give me moral support for betraying everything I hold dear?
 
6:42 PM
 
cc @OrigamiRobot @Wipqozn
 
> 1 new from 999.99
 
@OrigamiRobot You know what you need? Cookies.
 
I'm not in Canada!
 
If you just want the device.
 
6:44 PM
There naming sucks
 
"1 new from CDN$ 999.99"
OKAY THEN
 
@Rapitor Apparently, there were more sane prices up earlier.
 
@Blem is the entire video like that
 
@Yuuki What's that bit on the bottom about the AC adapter not being included?
 
FUCK YOU VIM ADVENTURES I NEED TO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARN
 
6:45 PM
@TimStone The AC adapter is not included.
 
AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY $25 FOR 6 MONTHS
FUCK THAT I'M A STUDENT DAMMIT
 
It tells me to see the back but I can't magic the photo!
 
It's compatible with DSi adapter and up.
 
@badp that one i have only seen as the gif
 
@Yuuki Ah, still seems kinda silly.
 
6:46 PM
Feeling kinda queasy. I'm either suffering from a hype overdose or it's the fried chicken I had for lunch.
Or some combination of the two.
 
Don't you dare blame the food.
 
FUCK THAT NO
I'M NOT PAYING A THOUSAND DOLLARS, RETAILER THAT ISN'T NINTENDO
FUCK YOU, GAMESTOP
 
2 mins ago, by Yuuki
@Rapitor Apparently, there were more sane prices up earlier.
 
Fear leads to anger.
 
@Unionhawk The seller has a whole two reviews in the last year.
And is based in Quebec, apparently.
 
6:48 PM
THANK YOU GAMEINFORMER AKA GAMESTOP
 
also, why isnt the monster hunter edition selectable
 
@Unionhawk wat
 
@Yuuki fuck gamestop
 
I'm not sure if it's an exclusive or not.
 
6:49 PM
@Yuuki The description says it is.
 
@Frank And apparently the Direct said so as well.
 
Crap. Welp, guess I'm ordering it, then.
 
Ugh, hype + greasy foods = not feeling so good.
 
FUCK YOU GAMESTOP I'M NOT BUYING YOUR THING
 
6:52 PM
@Batophobia Why?
Also: What?
 
And: Who?
 
@Unionhawk Since they're the only ones who have it, I have no choice, if I want that edition.
 
Where?
 
@Frank There's always ebay
 
@OrigamiRobot for many many dollars
 
6:54 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yes, because getting scalped for the same thing is preferable to just buying it myself.
 
@Frank Still a choice
 
@OrigamiRobot Like a choice between getting a finger cut off and eating a rocket to the face.
 
Technically speaking, yes. Pragmatically, though, no, not really.
 
Both suck, yes, but one sucks way, way more than the other.
 
Depends on your situation
 
6:57 PM
I expect ebay to be flooded with overpriced copies of the same thing.
 
@Frank Oh well, I share your pain. I think I'm going to be stopping by Gamestop on the way home as well.
 
I'm not buying it anyway
 
Either way, though, Gamestop still gets their piece.
So it doesn't matter whether I pay it, or someone else does.
 
Yes it does
 
Do you forget the whole used games thing?
It totally matters
 
6:59 PM
@Unionhawk In order for me to buy a used one, someone else has to buy it new. From Gamestop.
 
Okay
 
If you buy it from GameStop, the person scalping it gave GameStop money as well as you.
 
@OrigamiRobot ...Huh?
 
If you buy it from the scalper, GameStop only gets 1 sale
 
Oh, two different copies.
 
6:59 PM
How did we get onto the topic of Gamestop?
