@AshleyNunn well you don't have to eat it alone =p

It's big enough to share!

@AshleyNunn The dreams. Oh god the dreams.

MARK

@OrigamiRobot Every description of high school sounds nothing like my experience in high school.

fredley

@Wipqozn this

Wipqozn

My experience in high school was that everyone got along pretty well, and there was very little drama or fights or anything.

user15026

@wipqozn lucky. Mine was...terrible in just about every way.

Arperum

3:03 PM

What age range is highschool?

user15026

14-17 or 18

Wipqozn

@Arperum 15-17, I think... or 16-18? I can't rememebr

Our high schools are grades 10-12

5pike

Mhh...I had a somewhat good time then.

Rapitor

@fredley yeah that's it. I want that

Arperum

Either case: that agerange was a bad one for me.

Kevin van der Velden

3:05 PM

14 and 15 was terrible, then I made friends with the bullys (who are still my friends)

user15026

@wipqozn ours are 9-12 with the option of a 5th year, hence the 14-17/18

Origami Robot

> I can kill a dog in six ways. Five of them are throwing missiles at it.

Arperum

10-18 or something was constantly being bullied for me.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot missiles are always good for that

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Define missiles.

3:07 PM

I should get out of bed and shower but my bed is so perfect

user15026

And you lot are entertaining

Origami Robot

> Don't throw a baby at anything - even a burglar.

Arperum

Also: that person is not at all creative. I'm not saying it isn't terrible to kill a dog, but if you can only find six ways of doing it, that's a serious lack of creativity.

(or my brain is a horrible thing)

Which is very well possible.

@OrigamiRobot this gets worse when you learn French from a pineapple. (please tell me someone else remembers Ananas)

Arperum

@Chippies There is so much wrong with that, even assuming that "cheese" is a valid language.

Origami Robot

> We also have a change in the bounty system coming – it’s planned for a minor update so should be with us soon, but bounties cannot be paid off immediately. There will be a cooldown time of a few days before the bounty can be paid off.

cc @ElitePeeps

Chippies

3:12 PM

@Arperum but it sounds great and rolls of the tongue :P Also, cheese is an absolutely valid language!

Origami Robot

That's the only interesting thing in the dev update this week

Everything else is Mac beta

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Pineapple is the worst word. Like nearly every other language uses Ananas or something very much alike.

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn I have no idea what you just said.

Chippies

@Arperum English likes to be special

Arperum

@Chippies It would be "Parlez-vous fromage?" IIRC. My French isn't all that good.

@Chippies French is worse in most cases, but not this one.

"Ordinateur" seriously?

Kevin van der Velden

3:14 PM

@Arperum but both the z and the s would be silent

Chippies

@Arperum ah, well, you'd pronounce it the same way though, I write it as it sounds in my head, since I don't know actual spelling, but I'll try to remember it for the next time :P

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden True.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum Oh god that word

user15026

@OrigamiRobot there is an educational program called Telefrancais and one of the main characters is a talking pineapple named Ananas

Chippies

@Arperum is that like, a controller or manager or something?

Kevin van der Velden

3:14 PM

It might be one of the few french words I can recall without context, simply because it is so absurd

@Chippies a computer

Chippies

eh, close enough, in a way

Arperum

@Chippies The "vous" is a formal way of speaking, and in most cases the verb is formed with "ez" at the end in that case.

Chippies

@Arperum are you implying that I could just say Parle Fromage?

Arperum

There are exceptions, because it wouldn't be french otherwise.

@Chippies Nope, "Parle tu fromage?"

Kevin van der Velden

I think it'd be the equivelant of "Speak cheese?"

Chippies

3:16 PM

@Arperum that doesn't sound as good as the formal version though

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden Courier

GnomeSlice

I hate french.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley no, Le Ordinateur is horrible

Arperum

@Chippies True, same thing goes for dutch in a lot of cases, where flemish people use the formal word because it sounds better, and dutchies are more consistent in using the non-formal word.

user15026

Arperum

3:17 PM

@KevinvanderVelden L'ordinateur.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum close enough

user15026

That is the pineapple that taught me French

Kevin van der Velden

KILL IT WITH FIRE

Chippies

@AshleyNunn nightmare fuel!

Arperum

@AshleyNunn That is not a pineapple, that is nightmare fuel.

Kevin van der Velden

3:18 PM

Both for being that thing and for teaching people the horribleness that is french

Chippies

I bet that's what inspired the Annoying Orange

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn Oh god T_T

@gnomeslice did you never watch Telefrancais?

GnomeSlice

I did not.

@AshleyNunn Poor thing.

Origami Robot

Worst beta system ever

3:23 PM

@OrigamiRobot So... bounty hunting less immediately profitable?

You have to wait for a bit after hunting the guy down before you can cash his bounty?

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot why?

@OrigamiRobot Oh, bounties on you?

You have to evade the authorities for X days rather than just "oh I got a bounty, zip over here, get rid of it, and go on with my business".

Q: Can't log in on Minecraft.net

So, I was searching for a skin and I did found one! But, when I tried logging into the minecraft site, it didn't let me. I did used my email adress to log in and the right password. I can even log into Mojang and the game itself. Just not the site. I tried changing my password and it still won't ...

Well, we still have questions and users today, so I guess the policy debate was put to rest for now. Hi Bridge.

Unionhawk

Dear Inbox: why is reply to all the default behavior if I just click below a message to reply?

Kevin van der Velden

@MadMAxJr Hi! Please get a ticket from the other counter for your mandatory user termination scheduling

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk Because that is the best behavior. The amount of times I want to reply only to the most recent person to send a message on a chain is never.

Regular gmail has an option for it, though; not sure if Inbox does.

Unionhawk

I can manually select it, and I guess you're probably right

StrixVaria

I mean regular gmail has an option to change the default behavior (and you can choose either on the fly too with an extra click or something).

Origami Robot

3:58 PM

@StrixVaria Can't tell if serious...

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria I just want to point out that I've spend a lot more time interacting with email chains (where I would want to reply all) than blast messages (where I wouldn't) since I joined Google

MadMAxJr

@KevinvanderVelden My ticket says I am number #NULLVALUE of #RANGEUNDEFINED

murgatroid99

I feel like that design decision was partly influenced by how we use email

Kevin van der Velden

@MadMAxJr Oh. I'm so sorry

StrixVaria

@murgatroid99 I have email chains on my personal account too, and even changed the default there to reply all.

murgatroid99

4:00 PM

@StrixVaria Maybe it's just me, then. But I almost never wanted to reply all before I joined Google, but I almost always do on my corp account.

Kevin van der Velden

Pretty lamps

Also they totally look like something out of a scifi film

Chippies

@KevinvanderVelden that loop is too short and it frustrates me

it's like ending a show with a "to be continued" just before something cool happens

Ugh, forgot to turn off the lights of my car, now the battery is drained and nobody has a starter cable.

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden I wish I had a massive hall

Kevin van der Velden

4:12 PM

In the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

MBraedley

@5pike You should have jumper cables. Everyone should have a set of jumper cables in their car.

5pike

Sadly not, but I'll definitely add one now.

murgatroid99

> Some website speculates that Nintendo will announce the Virtual Boy 2

Chippies

@MBraedley Everyone should have them, so why should I, if I can just ask someone else? :P

MBraedley

@5pike That is literally the first thing I bought after buying my car, even before getting the electronic toll transponder for the bridges.

Chippies

4:15 PM

it's unfortunate when everyone thinks that way though, because then you have no one to ask

MBraedley

@murgatroid99 Yeah, very misleading headline that I only caught after reading the article. Stupid click-bait.

@Chippies Because you always need to be prepared. You have to assume everyone else is unprepared.

Matt Giltaji

@MBraedley one time i called aaa for a jumpstart because i didn't remember that i had jumper cables in the trunk :S

Chippies

Good thing most cars make a ton of noise if you leave lights on with the car off and open the door

Kevin van der Velden

Contrary to things being said previously: Windows 10 will not be a free update for everyone after all, only people with genuine editions of windows

MBraedley

This isn't to say that my car kit is 100% complete. I don't have an air-compressor, emergency snacks, or candles and matches, for instance. I do have an old sleeping bag that can be used as an emergency blanket though.

Sterno

Why does a physical audio CD cost less on amazon than a digital version?

murgatroid99

That's not what the article says

Kevin van der Velden

> Updated again, again: We asked Microsoft for clarification on the material implications of having a "non-genuine" free upgrade to Windows 10, and got a "no comment" in response.

murgatroid99

4:20 PM

@KevinvanderVelden "no comment" doesn't mean "the previous statement was false"

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 what's false about the previous statement?

Sterno

Those who pirate don't need free upgrades. They just pirate the new version

Kevin van der Velden

A non geuine windows is not a genuine version of windows

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden They said non-genuine versions could upgrade

Chippies

@Sterno because no one wants them or even has a disk drive

Kevin van der Velden

4:21 PM

To a non genuine version

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden That doesn't contradict the fact that Microsoft is giving them the upgrade

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley I just live in a country where I can go from one point to another in 6 hours

@murgatroid99 to a trial version yes

That is not an upgrade to windows 10

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden non-genuine is not the same as trial

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 what's the difference?

Chippies

genuine or not, does it activate with no time limit is the question

murgatroid99

4:22 PM

@KevinvanderVelden If someone has been running a non-genuine version for years, clearly it wasn't a trial

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden Yes, some of the emergency items deemed essential for North American drivers can reasonably be omitted from European's trunks.

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 that is called a cracked version of windows

Chippies

@murgatroid99 there's cracks and trial resetters for that

Origami Robot

@murgatroid99 Someone needs to break that news to WinRAR :P

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden I thought that's what we were talking about. The original quotation was about people who pirated Windows

Kevin van der Velden

4:24 PM

@murgatroid99 yes. People who pirate windows won't get a free upgrade to windows 10, they'll need to pirate it again

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden That's literally the opposite of what the article says

Kevin van der Velden

Sure, you can download the ISO from microsoft and then throw a crack over it

@murgatroid99 did you read the update?

murgatroid99

> ZDNet's Ed Bott got a response from a Microsoft spokesperson, confirming that the free upgrade path is indeed available for all pirates everywhere, and not just in China.

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden I can do that too. And stay in the same state!

Chippies

@murgatroid99 upgrading a pirated version to windows 10 is the same as installing it from scratch without activating

Yuuki

But 4 hours to get from Houston to Dallas!

Kevin van der Velden

"You don't get a legitimate copy of windows 10"

murgatroid99

Obviously, pirates don't care if their copy is "legitimate"

Otherwise, they wouldn't pirate it

Kevin van der Velden

Pirating is not the same as getting a free upgrade

> I knew nothing about farming when I started out. Like, less than nothing. I didn’t get that I had to till the soil before I planted the seeds. I threw seeds on the ground, killed them with a hoe, and spent the next two in-game weeks watering their corpses and wondering when they’d start sprouting. When I finally figured it out, and recorded my progress in the game diary that night, I imagined my guy writing, “Dear diary, I am a dumbass.”

These devblogs about Harvest Moon are awesome.

Chippies

4:26 PM

@murgatroid99 the whole point of the original article was that it was going to be legitimate

murgatroid99

@Chippies And it still looks like Microsoft is giving away the upgrade

that's the point

Origami Robot

I don't think @murgatroid99 is claiming it's going to be legit

Kevin van der Velden

They aren't

Chippies

@murgatroid99 if I can download a windows iso from microsoft servers and crack it myself, that doesn't mean microsoft is giving away windows

Yuuki

@Frank Where?

Kevin van der Velden

4:27 PM

They are giving away the installation media

Frank

@Yuuki xseedgames.tumblr.com

Kevin van der Velden

WOOPDIE DOO THAT IS JUST SOME DATA

They are not giving away a license to use that software

Chippies

I downloaded windows 8.1 iso from microsoft, installed it on my laptop with my legit key and installed it on my wife's PC and cracked it. Does that means I got a free copy of Windows 8.1 from Microsoft?

Yuuki

> “Har- I mean… Game We Can’t Mention by Name, but Rhymes with ‘Briends of Brineral Brown.’”

Which means Harvest Moon is in good hands.

murgatroid99

4:29 PM

@Chippies @KevinvanderVelden Do you not understand the difference between an installer and an upgrader?

Chippies

@murgatroid99 you could always upgrade illegit copies of windows

windows updates, service packs

murgatroid99

@Chippies update != upgrade

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 Do you not understand that the point is that after all of microsoft saying "We're giving windows 10 away for free to everyone regardless of them having pirated it" they are now saying "Well, you still won't be allowed to use it if you pirated it."

That is the point

Yuuki

@Frank For some reason, good humor = good people. Fairly regularly, it seems.

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden non-genuine != not allowed to use

clearly, otherwise they wouldn't be able to use it

Kevin van der Velden

4:30 PM

@murgatroid99 That is exactly what it means: Non-genuine is you don't have a license

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 i think a good amount of features are nuked in a non-genuine copy

Frank

@Yuuki It shows a level of comfort and confidence that is extremely hard to fake.

Kevin van der Velden

You are not allowed to use it except for the purpose of activating a valid license

Chippies

@murgatroid99 non-genuine == can't activate == begins nagging you within couple of months

Wipqozn

oh my. There's drama going on in my local NEtrunner group.

Kevin van der Velden

4:30 PM

But they also know that if they just nuked it everyone would be pissed with reason

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Do people want to quit and move to MtG?

murgatroid99

OK, has Microsoft ever previously given away software that would transform pirated Windows version X into pirated Windows version Y?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Every updater ever

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 yes, they gave it away through piratebay

murgatroid99

@MattGiltaji Microsoft puts stuff on pirate bay?

Kevin van der Velden

4:31 PM

You can upgrade pirated win 7 to win 8 via the default win 8 upgrade tools

Matt Giltaji

@murgatroid99 yes, but they hide their identity by claiming to be "m$"

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden But the upgrade still registers non-genuine?

Kevin van der Velden

Same (I assume) for xp to vista, vista to 7, etc

murgatroid99

OK, fine, I didn't get that. This fact was being published as news, so I assumed it was news

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk yeah

Yuuki

4:32 PM

@Frank Licorice looks a lot like Reina from Two Towns.

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 no that is not what was being published as news but okay =p

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No. The person who acts as the organizer for most of our event is moving, so a few folks have stepped in to fill his place. One person was annoyed at the way they seemed to be handling it, and then ended up doing something the organizers said they were doing, and now there are accusations of people stepping on each other toes.

Frank

Even if people don't pay for it, Microsoft still wants people to use their OS.

Chippies

@Unionhawk you need a legit key to activate it, which, if you have a pirated version, you clearly don't have

Wipqozn

One of the organizers said he's not going to do it anymore now because of it

~drama~

Yuuki

4:33 PM

Like, is Story of Seasons a sequel to Two Towns and she's Reina's descendant or something?

Unionhawk

salt++

murgatroid99

@KevinvanderVelden OK, whatever. I don't even care anymore. This conversation has been both confusing and frustrating

Chippies

@murgatroid99 the news was that pirates get free copies of windows

@Wipqozn ah, cool

Frank

@Yuuki Eh? Is there a source?

Chippies

rarely hear about 100% runs

Yuuki

I mean, Licorice is from Konohana, is a botanist, is socially awkward, speaks harshly, but has a soft heart.

She's basically Reina Mk. 2.

Unionhawk

@Chippies They happen, depending on the game

OoT 100% has a really interesting route

Chippies

4:35 PM

@Unionhawk I'm sure they do, but I don't see people talk about those much

MadMAxJr

Take a peek at Paranormal... Aaand Ghostbusters is still the top ranked question... Didn't think it would last that long.

Frank

To my knowledge, there's never been a connection to previous Harvest Moon games in any of them.

Chippies

probably because they're so long, compared to any% runs

MadMAxJr

All Harvest Moon taught me is that every girl is crazy for a blue feather.

Yuuki

@Frank It doesn't say explicitly that it's a sequel, but it feels a lot like a sequel.

Chippies

4:36 PM

@MadMAxJr is that a metaphore?

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I'm upset this wasn't rebecca black

Yuuki

@Chippies For a wedding ring, yes.

Frank

@Chippies Totally not.

That's how you marry them. You give them that feather.

Unionhawk

I can feel how salty zfg was just from that image.

Chippies

It was better before I knew that

Yuuki

4:36 PM

Blue feathers are basically Harvest Moon's wedding rings.

Frank

@Yuuki And it could. I'm just glad they've removed the tediousness from A New Beginning.

Yuuki

Well, engagement rings, I guess.

Frank

Doing everything was insanely time consuming.

MadMAxJr

Blue Feathers are a lot more affordable than diamonds.

Unless the feather is also diamonds. Then that's Old Spice commercial territory.

Yuuki

@Frank So, do you have any idea who you're going to marry?

Frank

4:38 PM

@Yuuki Nnnnnope.

I haven't been paying that much attention.

But I hope they bring back crop levelling like HM:DS.

Yuuki

@Frank Well, here's a list of bachelorettes if you want a peek.

Frank

I was a massive millionaire in that game.

Yuuki

@Frank I wish they had out-of-season crops like they did with A New Beginning and Rune Factory 4.

Sadly, they took that mechanic out.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn Well you would be, however she isn't a terrible person so she doesn't link to friday

Frank

@Yuuki Honestly, Winter was all about taking care of your animals, and getting to know the town.

It was a nice balance between productivity and idleness.

Yuuki

4:40 PM

@Frank Yeah, but I liked having access to crops out of season, in case I wanted to use them to tame animals or as gifts.

MadMAxJr

Tinder in that world must not be interesting. 'Nobody else available in your area' after like 8 swipes.

Rapitor

rune factory > harvest moon

Frank

The rest of the seasons, you worked like a dog to get everything taken care of.

@Rapitor Rune Factory was based off of Harvest Moon. So you are automatically incorrect.

Yuuki

@Rapitor Some parts are nice, others not so much. I didn't really like the farming system in Tides of Destiny.

In fact, I didn't like much of anything in Tides of Destiny except for maaaaybe some of the combat.

Rapitor

yeah, tides of destiny was a mess.

Yuuki

4:43 PM

RF4 was fun times though.

Frank

@Yuuki That I will agree with.

But it will be nice to get back to a game about farming.

Rapitor

did any harvest moon ever have multiplayer?

i feel like co-op farming and stuff could be pretty fun

Frank

@Rapitor There are parts with friend trading, but, no, no co-op farming.

MadMAxJr

That's the next thing. Competitive online farming duels.

Q: How to quickly warm up a toilet seat

In the winter, the porcelain toilet seats can get extremely cold and are just unpleasant to sit on in the event that 'doody' calls. Is there a quick way to warm up the toilet seat to make it more comfortable to sit on?

@MadMAxJr plants vs zombies garden warfare?

MadMAxJr

I didn't touch that because everything after Popcap's PvZ makes me sad.

@Frank Which is also similar to Two Towns. I'm really getting a big Two Towns vibe from this game.

@Yuuki The page on Licorice says she came from Konohana town.

@Wipqozn I like that someone left a "use a hair dryer" answer 5 days after the exact same answer, and got upvotes

Frank

So...localization difference? Maybe the same person?

@MadMAxJr its surprisingly and unexplainably good.

Q: How to sleep with a stuffy / blocked nose?

I'm just getting over a cold, but my nose remains very stuffy / blocked. This makes sleeping difficult: I toss and turn or simply can't fall asleep at all. I've tried blowing my nose and using various decongestants, but nothing seems to do the trick. What can I do to help clear my nose/sinuses s...

@Frank I'm gonna say that SoS takes place in the same universe as TT and Licorice is Reina's descendant. Maybe even her kid.

Which, for me, means Licorice is definitely out. I'm not marrying my kid.

Q: How to make an adapter for a micro sim

I currently have an iPhone 4S and these models use a 'micro-SIM' which is smaller than a standard SIM Card (see below): The thing is I need to move the SIM from the iPhone (micro-SIM) into an older handset that is designed to take a normal sized SIM. As it is design to take a normal SIM it wo...

@Wipqozn How is that already protected by community? Posts with any links being marked as spam?

Wipqozn

This question has closed, and then re-opened. Totally a lifehack. Everyday problems, amirite?

Sterno

@Wipqozn so many answers

Frank

@Wipqozn That's either metalworking, or electronic engineering.

Wipqozn

@Frank But Lifehacks users are experts on everything, man

Seriously, this site is just "Everything.SE"

Frank

@Wipqozn And thereby experts on nothing.

Need to start asking gaming questions on Lifehacks

Pretty sure there's one in there about comfortable controller use

Unionhawk

Yuuki

I'mma just start moving all my questions to Lifehacks.

MadMAxJr

Dear Lifehacks. My minecraft crashed. I have 900 mods and refuse to remove any of them. HELP!

@Sterno I'm seriously tempted to aska question about how to beat a boss in unconventional means.

Like, I don't know, beating ganon without a sword or something.

Yuuki

Nobody asked the SE engineers why SE seems to have a thing for Lifehacks, did they?

@Sterno yes, please do.

@Frank I think a Lifehack killed their parents or something

Q: Let's make this clear: this site is **not** the same as Lifehacker

Lifehacker is a cool website -- you can find how-to articles on just about anything from kitchen to computing. I've used it a bunch of times to help me figure out how to do several things with my computer, for example. However, even though our site has a similar name, our scope is NOT the same a...

Q: Time to take a step back from multiple answer criticism

I've noticed a few times now that people are enforcing (probably too much) the apparent policy about one answer per post. Here are a couple of examples: How to write in a straight line without lined paper? How to jump start a car without another car - this shows how half of an answer was delet...
