Q: Inventory Crash

yx01Just picked this game up from the steam sale, and I'm running into this crash. I can't assign any weapons to the shortcut keys since when I hit any number while in my inventory, my game immediately crashes. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Hey @Mana, I think you were the one interested in hosting the new die2nite wiki. Anyways, I was digging around reddit, and learned that the dude webtm runs the wiki. Possibly we could learn from him.

Q: Can I hide the "Format System Memory" option on the DSi?

richqOn a Nintendo DSi there's an option to completely format the system memory. It's accessed from configuration > format system memory and is so easy to select that even a 3-year-old could do it (and did!) Is there any way I can hide this option, or make the darn thing more difficult to hit? Even t...

Q: Expeditions work in die2nite.

user5781I do not really understand how expeditions work? Should I just go outside the town and follow the preassigned route or should I tell somebody first? Are expeditions something built in the game or is it just a game strategy that players agree on?

Q: StarCraft2: Who to complete "Destroy 50 buildings on Hard" achievement on "The Dig" mission without scan?

BuddaI know it should be easy to get this achievement if you have scan. But if you don't? How to earn it? Thanks a lot!

17:03
oh man
what a day
to sleep in
oh man
hi mana
maaaaaaaan
Hey Arda. How have your holidays been going?
17:22
Boring mostly.
:(
@Mana What?
I've never cared much for... what do you humans call it... interaction?
BUT ARDA
Yes Mana?
Without interaction...how do you feel any...hope? How do you have any dreams?! CAN YOU EVEN LOVE?!
collapses on knees in anguish
17:26
Hope? Dreams? Love?
The instruction at 0x4015A referenced memory at 0x00000.
:<
(And no, I did not pick that value arbitrarily, although I doubt anyone would notice)
Even robots can dream!
Ah, yes, Mana, but what does that have to do with the conversation at hand?
oh
I guess not much
I just felt like saying "They dream...ROBOT DREAMS"
only it would have an image attached ideally
17:30
Hrm...
How interesting.
and then it could segue into a conversation about how iRobot got horrible reviews and how that book was pretty chill.
Or something.
Alas, I must depart soon.
Also, I wonder why I actually put effort into making vague references to stuff nobody would even bother to look up.
I suck at being a geek, I suppose.
I don't know what to look up though
4015A light bulbs? jukeboxes?
17:32
I meant this
No, it's a hex value
oh
well
I suck at Hex
In decimal, it's 262490
Then you prepend chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message and the reference is complete.
gtg now, bye
peace
Yo @Bla.
hello
i was actually on
but got logged off ...
:(
17:34
what it that 262490 anyway?
(cuz i don't have dreams, too)
oh I see
it was just referring back to my previous message about dreams and stuff
i'm thinking too much about how the world sux
:(
i think that it's difficult to live if you think too much...
anyway
the world is a beautiful place full of wonderful things. You sux.
17:36
what are you doing?
ah yes, sitting in chat
Me? Eh. Relearning Java, passing time.
i'm kinda busy
but right now i'm eating by computer
so i thought i'd visit the chat
Makes sense.
but still, this is gaming chat XD
shrug I guess
17:39
Sonic Heroes game pwns...
I see it more as a place for people from the gaming.se site to hang out
Sonic Heroes has the best theme music ever, not even going to lie
well I kinda liked it
and i thought level themes were GENIUSly
also why is gaming.stackexchange.com redirecting me to Yahoo answers
whaaat!?
is this my router being dumb again do I have to ipconfig and flush my dns because that's just dumb
17:40
it's all ok for me -- no yahoo
yeah it's my router
sigh
the world sux
yeah ...
lol did you play Sonic heroes?
I played the demo
Basically the only thing I remember is the theme song
oh, ok
i completed it XD
well maybe you dont like ... how to call it ... "light rock"? o.o
well
it's not really that
more just that it's kind of really cheesy
17:44
listen to megaman title...
lyrics: "Super fighting robot -- Megaman! x12 or more"
Which one?
oh
yeah but that show is classic
o btw
really nice videos
i like them much
Huh?
a guy with nickname brentalfloss
Oh
17:46
has a few "what if game name here had lyrics" videos
Yeah brentalfloss is pretty amusing

Q: What are the similar games to "Gladiator Begins"?

Nam Gi VUI've been playing this game and love the way we can fight with other gladiators using 1) 4-different-fighting-styles's special skills + upgrading items (weapons, armors). The way a gladiator attack/recieve damage/drop+pick up items are all so great! Though, the menu UI & use-case is not perf...

Q: What Does Plum Juice Taste Like?

GnomeSliceSo, apparently everyone in town received some Christmas gifts in Die2Nite, including a Utility Belt, a Letter With no Address, and a vial of Suspicious Looking Plum Juice. Now, I do love Plum Juice dearly, so normally I'd just quaff it in one go, but a few things are stopping me. There is a li...

Can anyone else not access Gaming right now?
Site's offline for maintenance, broseph.
But we still have the chat all to ourselves.
locks doors
:(
Yes, we do look at every error. We even try to fix some of them.
18:41
heh.
Bro, did you commit to the game-rec proposal yet?
Might have, I forget.
I think I committed to the Atheism one.
...No, that's not right.
@Mana Yes, It looks like I did.
Good.

Geek-GirlFriend-Handling

Proposed Q&A site for geek men. They don't understand women, and want to spend more time with their projects, StarCraft2, board games and such. They need help with various Exceptions that GFs can throw at them, and need help fast!

Currently in defintion.

This looks promising.
Especially considering my current situation...
Site is back up.
Great question with 9 votes: What is a girlfriend?

raises finger to make a point, stops...lowers finger and shakes head, distraught
Must....resist.....urge....to....follow.....

A: How can I go to war without getting everyone else displeased in Civ V?

DanD manGood question. If you click the Diplomacy button at the top-right of the screen, it will show a list of any other Civilizations that you have met. By each of these is their current disposition: neutral, friendly, hostile, sycophantic rectum taster and so on, and so forth. By hovering the mouse o...

is particularly impressive.
Upvote that guy to death broseph.
Heh. Anyway, I've got to go do some things.
...same with that Area51 guy. Look up his profile and upvote everything he's ever asked or answered.
@Gnomes :(
Can I help??
Vacuuming? I doubt it.
That's the same guy that asked "What is a girlfriend?"
18:49
:/
Oh.
...Well, I hope he was kidding
Following.
Thanks @gnome-bro.
Hmm...the geek-girlfriend proposal is a good call, for me, given my situation.
I wonder if the "everything you ever wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask" is a good idea too...
Just in case.
:/
Heh. Nah.
Peese, gotta go vacuum.
18:55
@Gnome why are you talking to me about this over a public chatroom
I'm joking, man.
Lighten up.
19:20

Followed Geek-GirlFriend-Handling. Gonna need this soon ^^
Dont like the name though

Weee edit spree
@Oak So that's why I can't see anything on the home page...
[starcraft-2] is an ignored tag for me. :P
the gaming.SE site really needs a thing like "ignore everything but tag names here "
Oak
Oak
19:26
Wise
@Oak beating me to all these edits :(
Oak
Oak
Just retagging, really
Not really edits
Doesn't even require changing the page, only AJAX
oh okay
Topic Change. My bad.
I've been getting into Dubstep recently.
if by recently you mean the past three months yeah sure I believe you
19:41
That's pretty recently, considering my age.
sorry, I forgot you were 5
Har har.
o.o
@GnomeSlice From your message I thought you were very old... But profile says "nope"
Well, 3 months is relatively little compared to 18.5 years.
and what games do you play? (to talk on-topic)
19:48
Many.
Few.
All kinds, really.
Except I tend to avoid strategy. Particularly the real-time variety.
Ah, ok. I'd say I don't like torturing my brain after a hard day.
Oak
Oak
RTSs aren't my favorite type either. Too many things to look after at the same time
I like the more tactical varieties, and especially the turn-based / pause-at-will varieties
Sometimes it's good to sit down with something mindless.
This, for example.
19:53
and what is this?
It's called Vanquish.
woah
kinda shocking
I like a bit more strategy.
My favourite is Alien Swarm
Bad thing is that there is no pause.
Alien Swarm runs incredibly slow on my desktop PC.
And my folks won't let me game on my much more powerful laptop.
That is bad
looks like they didn't put enough effort to optimize it
free game -> they don't care
From what I could see, it looked surprisingly polished for freeware.
19:57
it is open source, not just freeware :P
Well, it's free, at any rate.
I play a lot of flash games, too.
They are rarely good
(a guy that used to play a lot of mobile java games said that :D)
Oh, I don't know, you have to know how to look.
I just picked up 3 games the other day at a sweet deal.
Buy one, get 2 free.
I bought Metroid: The Other M and got Halo: Reach and Singularity with it for free.
It was from a rental place though, so I had to go through some before I found ones that weren't damaged.
The only copy of Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time was the only damaged blu-ray I've ever seen.
And the copy of Alan Wake I tried was pretty scuffed up.
20:06
ok, ok XD

Q: Which class is the most powerful/useful in Mass Effect 1?

VaccanoI am just starting Mass Effect 1 for the first time. I looked at the classes and the Biotics looked cool so I chose the class that does them. But now I am seeing that I only get a pistol and my biotic abilities are not that great (I tried to throw a Geth and it did not do much. I had to use my...

Seriously, Blu-rays are damn near indestructible.
I've never seen one :/

Q: Can you help me to find this old strategy game ( PC ) for children ?

maxHi! I am trying to find this strategy game, it was more of a strategy game where you build different buildings and were collecting different objects etc. The game was really old and the main characters were egg-shaped creatures that were yellow, unfortunately I don't remember anything else.

20:57
Can I stop these Feeds somehow?
Oak
Oak
You can ignore them
Click on the orange RSS "user" on the user list, and choose to ignore
Yeah, I know
Oak
Oak
Alternatively, you can blame @badp, that's what I always do :)
But if I hide them, what happens?
Oak
Oak
If you ignore the feeds user, then you don't see any of its messages, just like ignoring other users
20:59
I understand, thanks.
Oak
Oak
Or do you mean something other than ignoring when you say "hide"
Actions: hide posts
Oak
Oak
Oh, right
I guess it's a local ignore
(only in this room)
Also makes the icon small and cute :)
I also thought so
@Oak LOL if you ignore everyone, all the icons are cute

Q: Wii Fit Plus: any way to choose which pet belong to which person?

oKtosiTeIn Wii Fit Plus I have two Miis and two pets. For some reason it binds the "wrong" pet to the "wrong" Mii. Essentially I'm playing with my girlfriend's dog, and she's playing with mine. Is there anything I can do about this?

Q: play fifa 10 without graphic card.

piemesonsHello. I have AMD Phenom II x6 1055T Processor 2.8Ghz. I dont have any graphics card. Is there any way i can play fifa10. I have 6GB DDR-3 ram. I just checked this post thats why asking this question.

@BlaXpirit You heretic person. Feeds are so useful. :)
@Oak Glad to know I'm always on your mind whenever something goes wrong :P
@ArdaXi -93
when i want a question, i go to the site
Oak
Oak
@badp only when chat is concerned
why interrupt the discussion with a thing that is so much like ads
@badp NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
21:22
@Oak that's probably why you're pushing for me to get a diamond :P
@BlaXpirit because what we'd do is continuously F5 to page to spot new questions.
I'd do that if I didn't have feeds posting them for me.
Wait... @badp as a diamond? GOD SAVE US ALL!
When we see bad questions we can close gang them
i'm not so dedicated
while feeds may be useful for you, i don't think they are good for me
Fair enough @BlaXpirit, I think they help us work better for improving the site. That's all
i just want to talk to crazy people...
no insult intended o.o
21:24
no insult taken. I heard @LessPopMoreFizz has plenty crazy
@ArdaXi I'll put feeds on the site so you can see questions while you see questions.
Oak
Oak
Also @badp, are you responsible for this room's description?
@Oak Yep.
It explains Grace's new model of stealth chatting.
Oak
Oak
Yea I saw
It's just so... newbie UNfriendly
Grace's daggers or that title?
Oak
Oak
21:27
the title
suggestions?
Oak

I realize you like the current one...
(I'm leaving in a couple of minutes, maybe less.)
Oak
Oak
Maybe just change it to something like "The main room for gaming: where the StackExchange Hea...."
I mean leave it as-is, just add some sort of informative prefix
@Oak room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchangeâ„¢ AlienOverlord AskQuestionâ„¢ mothership, charging its lazers for tzenes' 20k reputation mark. If you see daggers come out of nowhere, it's our super assassin ninja mod idol sorta thing.
Oak
Oak
21:31
Well that's better than before :)
The aliens are all blabbing about how they come in peace and shit but I'm not buying it.
They have lazers.
You don't bring lazers to a gunfight.
@Oak Further ideas?
Here's one! It'd make it more newbie friendly if you changed Grace's name on the site to "super assassin ninja idol mod sorta thing."
that'd be rad.
Oak
Oak
Well, I can change another user's name...
Hey cool it appears 3 users got merged together by chat
@Oak ???
Oak
Oak
@BlaXpirit you broke it
@Oak For a moment I read "Hey cool it appears 3 users got merged together by that"
and I had to check the users page :P
(which kinda sucks because I'm on a super slow connection.)
Oak

Q: What happens to your possessions and/or your body when you die in die2nite?

user5781When you die outside the town in die2nite, what happens to the things in your satchel and/or your body? Do they disappear or do the object remain on the block where you die? If not, do my possessions remain on the block on which I die (so that the remaining citizens can make use of them)?

and keep the domain as is?
