Q: Disney Infinity 3.0 cross-platform playsets and characters missing

lorddevI downloaded Disney Infinity 3.0 game on Windows and bought the Rise Against the Empire and The Force Awakens and got my kids a couple physical characters. For Xmas I bought my kids an Xbox One so they'd let me have my computer to myself, and got the Twilight of the Republic starter pack, assumi...

Q: "Off the Record" mission not showing in terminal

John PhillipsI have both mechanical and archeology field skills to level 4. However, my mission console does not have the required "off the record" mission to get them to level 5. Anyone know if something else is required?

Q: Paint Brushes Glitch

JimI was doing the Miscarcand quest and I collected a lot of loot. I decided to drop some things I don't really need. I drops my stuff in the goblin lair. I dropped brooms, jars, which roll around; folded cloth, glass armor [I'm at Daedric], and paint brushes. But when ever I drop paint brushes, the...

Oh no! Bad Rats is only on a %50 discount!
Hey guys! Merry Christmas!
Did anyone here get anything good for Christmas?
@Texenox Merry Christmas!
Also steam ripê'd again.
19:11
It's up for me
Awesome. I was in first again and I hit nothing and exploded. Then I got pushed off the race track by more epic trolling.
@Unionhawk same, but some profiles don't load, and store page breaks up every few minutes.
Huh, now it says that it declined a payment, but I see the payment on my end
Great
Okay, I think... that worked?
and I'm home
@KevinvanderVelden did it work?
You will see in your steam account if it did
19:19
Had a good christmas, all who celebrate?>

@uni undertale undertale undertale
Okay good
It said payment declined and I was like "no I'm p. sure I have money"
Thanks :)
I'll pay it when I get home or something :p
Yay, hit nothing AGAIN but used sheer gumption to win

Q: earliest the Mysterious Stranger spawns

ConnorI started a new vault in fallout shelter and got a mission to find the Mysterious Stranger 6 times and I get a pet for it! But I am still pretty early game and am wondering if anyone knows if there is a minimum vault size for him to start spawning. I really want the pet so any advice would be hel...

I have had the epiphany of why monopoly is such a terrible game
@KevinvanderVelden Because it assumes everyone starts on a level playing field?
Monopoly deal is pretty fun. Card game version of Monopoly and it doesn't take 50 years
Because my dad who is winning has made about 5 meaningful choices in an hour and a half
19:25
@KevinvanderVelden becuase everyone plays wrong
Granted, latency is probably out the wazoo, but still.
@djsmiley2k how do you play it so there are more meaningful choices
choices? theres very few choices
first round you have to buy everything, no choice there
For monopoly deal you need to make some house rules because the box rules kinda have some big oversights
Another game that I've had drag on for 6+ hours is Munchkin. I used to like that game. Many years ago.
Munchkin can be fun but a time limit is a good idea
19:30
I just hate when people get super competitive over a simple game and turn it into a multiple hour ordeal of rules lawyering and really unfun stuff
Also not playing it with 2 competing rule lawyers
I got yelled at for not stopping someone from winning when the game had dragged on for 6 hours and I had no chance of winning
I mean, what was the point?
(of which I am one)
@twobugs yeah that is also o bad
One guy was like "the rules say you can cheat so I'm going to cheat at every single bloody thing"
19:36
@KevinvanderVelden So in other words don't play with @Frank and @Sterno
ducks
(The person who yelled at me won the next turn, coincidentally)
Also that person yelled at me for reminding people of all their options in other games
Basically if you get super competitive about friendly board game night I hate you
We played sherriff of nottingham and someone was trying to figure out the math behind the thing
@uni the world will end in flames and rule lawyering
So he very obviously included 2 contraband for which I would stand to gain 8 gold if I caught it, he bribed me 9
Dear Steam: I don't think I really enjoy horror games so stop putting them in my discovery queue.
19:37
Oh I know people who try to optimize every single round too
I was like "no" and he was like "wat" then "I not only gain only one less, I deny 16 from you."
So they spend like 5ish minutes per turn
That really slows the game down and shockingly almost never pays off
m'back
With munchkin I regularly to "going once, going twice" to keep it moving
19:39
wb @Texenox
It's also off tabletop
That's one game that would benefit from paid mods, potentially
@Unionhawk +1
Monopoly, CAH and more copyrighted stuff
Yeah, that'd be awesome
Man, why did I have to get a Raspberry Pi LAST year...
19:48
Now I have to wait more in order to upgrade to Pi2 and I have to update Raspbian and NOOBS from... whatever old as fuck version Maplin provided.
updatying noobs is easy tho
as is raspbian
I don't even think the SD card included with their kit even included NOOBS to begin with.
@djsmiley2k Easier said than done when the SD card provided is 55.9 MB in size.
I ported gentoo to Pi ;D
erm, wut
@djsmiley2k Yep. 55.9 ruddy MB.
@Texenox go buy a new one maybe?
19:50
^^ this
@ardaozkal I'm hoping to get an 8GB one in the weekend.
a 64Mb SD is a joke
and I doubt you can do much with it at all
In fact, I am going to go to Currys or something to get a new card.
~U uk based?
amazon will be better/cheaper
@djsmiley2k yes.
19:51
ZELDATHON IN 2 DAYS AAAAAAAAAAA
@djsmiley2k Fair enough, but I'd rather make sure I get it right at that moment rather than wait for delivery.
@Unionhawk Seeing The Hateful Eight in 70mm in 3 hours AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Do they even still 64mb cards?
So I'm probably just gonna stop at Currys.
I think I'm going to refund Hurtworld and then pick up Boatmurdered Shipwrecked.
19:52
@KevinvanderVelden No idea.
Boat murder is easy better though. And free!
Whew, only 2 more first place finishes needed
wait, what the fuck
The label on the card actually says it's 8GB.
...hm.
Maybe I gotta format it.
What are you opening it with?
@Texenox connect to pc and format
19:53
Just use the raspian/whatever installer on it
@KevinvanderVelden Well, I plugged it into my laptop to format it but then I saw that it read it as being tiny.
Windows is dumb and doesn't understand shit
@KevinvanderVelden I can't. It didn't even come with NOOBS pre-installed.
Thanks, Maplin...
I love that there's a workplace.se question about people being assholes spoiling movies and one of the slightly upvoted answers is "dont be a baby haha"
disk untility
19:54
@twobugs wot
utility *
linky?
@twobugs links or lies
Right, I'm just going to format the card and see what I can do.
Hopefully it does turn out to be 8GB all along.
that'll be nice christmas pressie? :D
it does sound like they made a 64Mb boot partition or something and windows isn't seeing beyond that.
19:55
Ah, yeah, it's 8GB! :D
because... windows.
Right, now to install NOOBS.
Cause windows lives in its own world of horror and incompatibility
@Texenox that is the best name for an OS.
19:58
@ardaozkal It's not an OS.
I'm noob.
It's an installer for OSes on RPi.
It's an os, in the same sense that Ubuntu is an os
...but NOOBS isn't an OS in its own right, it's something used to install an OS.
Right?
Or have I just got it completely wrong?
yup
right.
20:01
Still an OS though, whose only feature is installing another OS.
Man I forgot how hard this boss was
@ardaozkal ...m8
aka Windows Vista.
@ardaozkal ...uh.
Okay, look, let's put it this way: it's a utility.

A: Junior staff posting film spoilers around the office

DoubleDoubleThere are two problem-sides to this argument. The people who react. Nobody likes a movie to be spoiled but once it's done, it's done. The only thing you can do is mark the person in your mind as a [unpleasant person] and move on - while avoiding them for the foreseeable future. Throwing a fit a...

20:02
Not an OS in its own right, just a utility.
"Don't throw a fit by politely asking this not be done again in a non-confrontational manner"
@Texenox fine by me
@twobugs lel
I don't want to reply to it with a spoiler...
halp
20:05
Don't.
Feel free to ignore the very clear and obvious warning against doing that in the question, I'm sure the results of your epic trolling would be hilarious.
I will not. May the force of holding myself back be with me.
right lads, new avatar.
Also, if you stay on my homepage for too much ( ardao.me ) you see spoilers. warning: LITERALLY.
what do you think?
20:06
If I was a workplace mod, I'd just throw you a 24 hour suspension for it.
@Unionhawk I'd throw myself in 1 month

Q: Could I fake death to stop being Force-choked?

Hannover FistI work for a large government organization. My boss is a total jerk who abuses those working under him. I've tried contacting HR before but they won't do anything about him. Anyways, I screwed up again. My jerk boss is going to be super pissed. I came out of hyperspace too close to some stupid ...

Q: Why is Battlefront 2015 black screening?

user132850So I got the new Battlefront and as soon as it finished downloading I got the update and pressed play. As soon as the window showed, it was full black. I also updated my graphics drivers to see if that would help, but I got nothing different. Here are my PC specs: Windows 8.1 OS/ 8GB RAM/ Inte...

> You won't be able to pretend to be dying because you'll be too busy actually dying.
> Brush up your CV and look for a job in a galaxy much further away.
wait, wtf
So I just installed NOOBS, now why can't I select a WiFi network?
I have the WiFi dongle and everything for it, why am I not getting any networks?
20:14
:P/;
life is complicated
no ethernet?
@djsmiley2k life is strange
@djsmiley2k I'm using the wireless dongle.
yes
but wireless dongles, even on clever things like noobs still sometimes need work
ethernet is easy, can you use it?
I'd need the cable to be long enough to go from one room to the room next-door to it.
AKA my bedroom to the living room.
@Texenox ... move the pi?
20:16
@ardaozkal Why>
Hm, maybe it'll work once I finish installing the OS.
@Texenox move it to the router
So you cn connect it to ethernet
once you've got the os installed, things are easier
@ardaozkal And then I'd have to move the FUCKING TV ON MY DESK for it.
20:17
Is it a minimal text based installer?
@KevinvanderVelden gui
my suggestion isn't to run on ethernet all the time
it's just while you do the install
Then it probably has about 3 drivers
Right, hold on a mo.
but being a dick about it isn't making me feel helpful
20:18
@djsmiley2k I meant that too.
Well, then again, the dongle is another thing supplied by Maplin themselves and it doesn't look like it's an official one.
Which means I'd most likely have to buy another one online. whoop de doo
You are unlucky.
On the other hand, I wonder if it's possible to hook up my laptop in order to use the keyboard from it.
Probably not possible, but eh.
possible? yes. Easy? not at all.
Haha some of the Star Wars questions on sci fi SE are so bad
20:27
@ardaozkal uwot
what is this sorcery
@Texenox Excel 2016^TM
I think it's just a really poorly made graph to try and tell a joke
@twobugs yep

everytime you open it, it opens with a random language

Q: What do generators do?

imulsionI just attempted a heist in The Swindle, when I came across something that looked like this: I assume this is a generator. It looked like it could give me some cash, so I blasted through the wall to get to it. However, when I got there I couldn't interact with it. The fact that it was a genera...

20:30
what the fuck
that is not me
Probably caches or stuff messing up, anyone has an idea why this happens?
Soooo does danses armour never need repairing?
hmmmmm also the swearing in here seems a lot more lately?
adding random games to peoples cart ftw
@ardaozkal Don't do that.
@Texenox I can't buy anything, so it is no big deal imho
oh ripe
I can see mails and stuff of other peole
20:37

Q: Is there an issue with the Steam Store right now?

Cake PrincessI'm currently in the Steam Store and it seems like the language keeps changing, and/or I keep being logged in/out and/or it keeps thinking that I'm another account. Is anybody else experiencing the same issues right now? I don't think it's Christmas traffic, since the Store still loads fine. I'...

I wonder if this is Phantom Squad or just the usual Steam being crap
Probably Steam being crap
@twobugs Nah, Steam has never been this crap.
Something's up. And I don't like it one bit.
Steam has been crap at many points in the past and it's within the realm of possibility that they are crap today, too. Do not panic, yet.
20:55
I got a steam controller for christmas. It's pretty good so far.
lol
I remember the time that steam died so bad that no one could play CS
those were funny funny times
1.4 iirc
@djsmiley2k right now steam is dying so bad it allows other people to access your data randomly. And that's pretty damn bad.
They will probably issue a statement when it's over if there is a data breach.
(resolved?) FYI, you should probably stay off Steam - getting word of people's CC numbers being exposed to other users due to the account-crossing shenanigans.
10
Once entered, the CC memorization only shows the last four digits of the card. I'm not sure how they'd be getting full numbers out of that, unless the salted hash of their storage is broken.
21:09
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have no payment information linked to my account at all. I hope I'm fine.
In the meanwhile, enjoy this Empire Strikes Back music video edit. They showed us this at the Alamo Drafthouse before episode 7 today.
ripe
I can see nearly everything
But no CC, so I'm kinda happy
@MadMAxJr Yeah, but even last 4 digits is not exactly info you want randos being able to get.
@LessPop_MoreFizz last 2
I will agree with you on that part.
21:10
There was a plan of DDoS, you guys remember?
Can a DDoS cause this?
attacking cache servers etc
That's every holiday for all platforms.
Lizard Squad and other groups have been trying to ruin christmas for years. It's just to be expected now, like the weather.
@ardaozkal not really
There are quite a lot of possible bugs that result in scrambling accounts, broken caching is probably at the top of that list
Your leaked info are: Your username, your email, your paypal mail if you have it attached, your wallet amount, your last 2 numbers and card type (amex etc) if you have it attached, your list of purchases.
@MadMAxJr What Lizard Squad? The last I heard - They were all thrown in jail.
@MadMAxJr funny how they chose the exact time that the networks fallover (without any help) to claim they are making them fall over, eh?
21:14
I'm not making a claim, I'm simply making an assumption. This isn't new. Stuff breaks on christmas.
I'm doing an announcement
I'm sure if I wait 20 minutes Fox News will say ISIS has taken down Steam.
Just stop messing with other peoples' Steam accounts...
It could get you banned. (Even though most of the data is going to end up jumbled up)
Nothing can be done until some facts roll in.
@aytimothy If the issue is caching, you can't mess with any others accounts anyway, you just passively view the wrong account information
21:18
If people start figuring out how to do password resets for the wrong accounts, then I will worry.
Dammit, @Yuuki must not have steam guard enabled I think
Or I don't
One of us is causing a trade hold
@MadScientist you can't mess with other accounts. (I tried).
Probably both of us.
Probably
Do they require the new steam app 2fa or something?
How does that work
Yeah, you need the mobile authenticator
or whatev
@Unionhawk It's like authy, but the bytes are decoded differently.
EDIT: So, instead of turning the random bits into 6-7 digit numbers, it spits out letters and numbers.
21:20
@aytimothy There's some new squad in town
apparently
@Unionhawk I heard about them.
They wanted to do minecraft server ddos but so far that's completely healthy
Well, maybe not, session service is listed as "a little shaky"
I only heard of Phantom Squad trying to target PSN/XBL
And I was playing Destiny no problem earlier /shrug
they all so fail
Sony has been affected enough in the path, that I'm pretty sure they have a 'holiday prepareness center' for these.
21:22
Rocket League was a little shaky too...
Nope, session service is down. We'll see in like 30 minutes if it's a regular outage
But I can still connect to servers
Kotaku, bringing you up to the minute speculation on what might be news we heard from someone whose dad totally works at nintendo
Woowwwww... They just literally restated what Reddit was whaling about like an hour ago.
At least Aussie Kotaku hasn't stated anything about Steam going kablooey ;)
The Gabe will be displeased. He will delay HL3 further.
2
21:27
@MadMAxJr nope, they just added hl3
@ardaozkal Where?!?
it got so many visits that it crashed the server.
Whoop - Minecraft is back to the green :P
thr trolling is strong
21:28
and steam took store down right now

Q: minecraft shuffle items in chest, vanilla

zloutek1Hello I already asked this, but can you recommend or help me to shuffle items in chest? I have in chest unstackable items such as tools or armor, and I want to shuffle them. The number of items in chest is not constant, but it is 10 or more items. Can you help me? Neither of my ideas didn't work ...

21:31
@aytimothy I'm honestly more inclined to believe you'd be quoting KSI.
(A YouTuber)
I always thought of it coming from TF2.
In one of the videos' character dialogue.
If it did, it would most likely be coming from the Demoman.
But I've never heard it being said in TF2 anywhere.
Maybe it was one of the community-made videos...
Oh hey, Raspberry Pi actually has Mathematica included now! Sick!
... Makes me want to buy one over a Audrino; skip to the big guns.
21:33
I turned my RasPi model 2 into a 3DS streetpass relay. Pretty simple project.
@aytimothy Both of them might actually be really useful. They're not really the same anyways, one's a microcomputer, the other's a microcontroller.
Hm.. There's one thing that's bugging me though.. Can the Pi do stuff that a microcontroller can do?
(ie. send out electrical outputs through primitive ports? And not USB ports)
@aytimothy I haven't quite kept up-to-date on that, honestly. I don't think the Pi itself can do that, thought there might be a peripheral for it that does that.
There's a ton of addon boards for stuff like that.
Oh, wait, there's the Sense HAT for it.
So yeah, it looks like there is something.
Though I imagine an Arduino/Genuino alongside it wouldn't hurt either. Might make stuff even better.
My only gripe so far with the setup I have right now is the fact that I still have the First Generation B Model rather than the Pi 2 B.
Also, the unofficial WiFi dongle that Maplin supplies in this kit that I bought last year... Something about it still doesn't feel right.
21:39
@aytimothy it has gpio
@djsmiley2k Oh yeah, that too.
Again, I haven't kept up-to-date on the whole thing since this is the first time I've actually used this since last Christmas. (Which was actually the very first time I used it)
I'm glad I updated it at last, though.
mine just runs the led light strip on my fishtank
I have plans to do lots more with it but... lazy :/
I've not even done anything with it right now. I imagine I'd have to buy a whole lot of stuff alongside and the only thing I have is the RPi itself.
Right now, it's essentially just the same as a regular old computer, though... teeny.
@MadMAxJr This exactly. Kotaku's been nothing but crap at this point.
21:43
They are not exactly quality journalism.
Past few days actually... All they do is post random 'crap'.
These are the guys who published an article 'OMG FF7 smutty doujins exist' a few years back.
> days years
@MadMAxJr How long ago was that? I'm interested in a good laugh.
@Yuuki I actually meant days. It's all about random recaps that tbh, aren't even complete.
21:44
@aytimothy I'm still more inclined to side with the 'years'.

Q: My dweller won't collect resources

Casey RodMy dweller has been in the wasteland for over 24 hours but has only collected 1 gun. He is level 45 with almost maxed stats. What's going on!? I want guns!

Okay, it just looks like I keep finding another thing to gripe about with my RPi setup. The keyboard remote-control thingy that Maplin supplied with the kit keeps on being finnicky all the time if it's idle.
dat lil pipsqueak dere
ssh is your friend
@djsmiley2k Oh. Hey, this actually looks useful.
21:50
yis
I should hopeso
Would it by any chance allow me to display what's on the RPi on my main laptop?
it can be setup like that, but cli is easier
...?
Oh, right, Command Line.
yeah
especially if youre using windows on the laptop, which I presume you are...?
21:53
@djsmiley2k Yes.
Oh, great, I have to go.
Bye.
22:08
@aytimothy Yeah, they didn't really go down hard
I was able to play DvZ with them in the red
(though it is possible they set their servers to online mode false)
worst writeup ever lol
Speaking of DvZ, I should get rooms/28 people to play that with me some time >_>
cc @KevinvanderVelden
It is a Minecraft PvP game that I actually find fun
Because it's designed as a role-playing game first
Between the thing, the other thing, and also a cellphone, that dog has stolen a lot
(yes, cellphone)
(spoilers, if you hang out in the room that Mom told you to hang out in for like, 30 minutes, and keep calling her every 5, you get to a conversation where Annoying Dog steals Toriel's phone)
(technically I'd consider that an easter egg not a spoiler though)

Q: Minecraft Crashes With Natual Mods

JohnSo I have recently come across the minecraft modpack Natural Magic and it contains most of the mods that I enjoy but a few essential one are missing and it contains some mods which are unnecessary.
