Q: Does Skyrim auto-save after I level up?

Sang FroidIf I level up on my character (full level, not a skill), does the game automatically save?

Q: Why is the first assassin in the city not available for missions?

Anna LearIn Mediterranean Defense, I have three assassins assigned to one city, but when I try to send them on missions it turns out that the first one is unavailable. I can't even move the cursor over him and there's no indication of why. Is the first assassin assigned to a city always unavailable? Is t...

Q: What's the difference between diamond difficulty and star difficulty?

Anna LearAssassin missions in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations have a difficulty rating. On some missions it's displayed as stars and on some as diamonds. What's the difference? Which one is harder?

Q: How do I meet higher level heroes?

Ashley NunnI have met 11 different Street Pass Miis, and every single one has been a Level 1 Hero in the Find Mii game. I know that I can get Level 2 Heroes from using Play Coins sometimes, but can I meet higher level heroes through Street Pass or some other means?

Q: League of Legends P2P

pootzkoWhat does the P2P option in LoL do exactly? Is it only used for patching/updating or is it also used for sharing match bandwidth to take a few bits of load off of Riots servers?

Q: What is the difference between armor and rating?

svickThe description of every armor in the game says something like “97 Armor (Rating 54)”. The first part is clear, when I equip this armor, my (confusingly named) Armor Rating increases by that much. But what exactly does Rating mean?

Q: What is a good secondary perks tree for a full Destruction mage?

Emanuelemy full destruction mage has reached the limit of 100/100 and I got all the destruction perks (apart 2, the one to make enemies flee and rune master). Should I boost Restoration or Alteration? I got already 70+ in Illusion which is more than enough to cast invisibility. I would tend to boost Alt...

Q: Is there any way to see kill/death ratio per weapon, map, or kit?

AHungerArtistSubject says it all. I really wish I had those more finely grained statistics but since it's not on the battle log site, I'm guessing it's simple not available (unless I've missed it somewhere).

Q: What is Fus Ro Dah?

agent86I haven't yet played any Skyrim, but over and over I hear people saying they "fus ro dah"ed something or other. It also seems to have become a meme of sorts. What is Fus Ro Dah? It sounds like it must be something that pushes given the way its used in sentences. What does it mean in the conte...

I don't think the question should be closed. We've had meme questions before

Q: How do I do a Barrel Roll?

FernandoOk, so I'm playing Starfox 64, and this so-called "Peppy" hare keeps yelling at me: Do a barrel roll! What's his problem? And what is this barrel roll he's talking about?

 
@YiJiang I'm ambivalent. The third google hit for 'fus ro dah' is knowyourmeme's article about it
so I don't really feel strongly about it

Q: How can I find TF2 Servers that play Freight or Fastlane?

Apple CorI can't seem to find servers running those maps (except Wonka Gaming, and those are only full of bots all the time). They are two of my favorite maps. When I started playing Team Fortress 2 earlier this year I feel like I saw them a lot more often. Why is that?

Wow, I can't believe @Gnomeslice irked me so much to get unity just for this.
I find the game slightly disturbing.
 
@RedriderX Well GnomeSlice is slightly disturbing.
 
@RonanForman Ya your right.
Hey did you see the 99% bundle yet?
I think it's a good way to take advantage of the whole "bundle fever" that is going on.
 
1:10 PM
@RedriderX They couldn't have made the game list more unappealing if they tried
The only game I want to try of those is Robot Unlock. Because it's the only one with a decent main menu
and the other bundled games are drowning it

Q: Will being altered by Tuldaric drive me mad?

SternoFrom what I understand, if you use enough canisters (I think around 7) in Geneforge 2, you'll end up with a different ending because you end up driven a little bit mad. So far, I've used 0 canisters, and don't plan to use any. However, I joined the Awakened and have the chance to be altered by T...

 
@GnomeSlice Yes they are. ChrisF is @RonanForman's father.
 
@Wipqozn The right answer of course is to open notepad and code your own browser right in front of them.

Javier BadiaI've helped the people of Morthal, so now Jarl Idgrod has made me Thane and wants to give me the Blade of Hjaalmarch. Apparently, this blade can be either a sword or a greatsword. Searching the internet for a while, I've found a source that claims it is random, while another one claims it's based...

Q: What is the best potion to make fast money and level alchemy?

JitamaroI'm new to alchemy and I would like to know what is the best potion to make fast money and xp in alchemy? What is the ingredients and where can I get many of it? How much time do I need to level my alchemy to 100?

 
@Pubby sure
 
In that case, anyone up for a super-melee game?
 
@Pubby never heard of it
 
@Lazers Is that the first case of someone asking a dupe of their own question a day later?
 
3:17 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz IT might be, but we had someone ask a dupe of their own quesiton 29 minutes later once.
 
@Wipqoz Interested in trying it? It's the multiplayer part of Star Control 2 which is one of the greatest games ever.
 
@Pubby Not at the moment.
IS the multiplayer mode a separate game?
 
@Wipqoz It's a separate game mode that is also a part of the entire game.
 
So, tell me, did anyone here watch Recces as a child?
If so, this is pretty awesome (albeit not perfect):
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, but wasn't that a case of "My question was closed, gonna ask it again!"
This is more "Awesome, I got an answer to my question! Time to ask it a slightly different way and see if the answer changes!"
 
3:28 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Not at all, he just asked his question again 29 minutes later. He copy pasted the original question and added one additional line.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, so he didn't know about the edit button or was just otherwise fumbling around the site.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's what I assumed as well, just pointing out we have had duplicates asked within a shorter timespan.
There's another question too, cannot think of the name of time difference...
but a new user copy/pasted the body of a question, and then asked it again.

Q: Swtor Melee Class - Auto run to target

Fredy31I'm a Jedi Knight in SWTOR and being a melee class, I find quite annoying having to run to follow my target when it's being pushed back by a party member. Is there an option to auto run at hitting range of the current target when I cast an attack?

 
nice @Wipqozn snub in the meta post, @agent86 :p
 
@IanPugsley I thought so too. I also made sure to throw a link to the alot article as well, since somebody left it out.
@RonanForman: How long do you think Capture the Wool will take?
 
I love Hyperbole and a Half so much
 
@Wipqozn sorry, typing fast and trying to keep the kids from killing each other. Thanks :P
@IanPugsley he even tried to score a free bounty before this whole thing got started.
so he earned it.
the snub, I mean, not the bounty.
 
@agent86 ah, damn.

A: Skyrim - how does regen vs magicka vs reduced cost effect my efficiency? What is my destruction spell damage?

Cor_BlimeyA Solution I developed a basic spreadsheet that allows you to find out all the above questions, and more. V1 provides a full workup of magicka and all related enchanting effects, and provides detailed damage info for destruction spells. A better VBA model I was 30% through is on hold while I en...

Wow.
Just... Wow.
 
@agent86 Can I offer to do this in your place? I'll even double the reps at stake. The thing is, even with 1 reputation I still have mod powers, and I'd rather have an extra 10ker
and, more importantly, an extra 20ker
feel free to decline the offer though
 
Your hard earned reps are yours to spend
 
If you accept his offer, he'll take all the credit! If you decline it, he'll ban you for going against him!
 
@badp Well I wouldn't spend earner reps. After all, how would I get more?
 
4:10 PM
@Wipqon I talked to vechs and he said:
> Should be less than an hour. Hope you guys like the map!
 
@RonanForman okay, great. My family is doing something later tonight, and I'd like to join them.
So I don't want to be playing this for 5 hours :P
 
@Wipqozn We might not do it that fast, but i don't think it will take more than 2 hours at the most.
 
@RonanForman Okay, good.
We should try and get maps of that length more often.
 
I think this one is better as it's direct pvp, and seeing as we're on one lane there aren't any traps.

Q: Skyrim - how does regen vs magicka vs reduced cost effect my efficiency? What is my destruction spell damage?

Cor_BlimeyThe Questions What are my character's derived stats? (regen time etc) What will each magicka and destruction enchanting effect do to my overall character? How is my damage output effected by choosing different spells? How does cast speed effect my damage? (very important at -100% cost) What is ...

 
Seriously, this is shit out of a fucking horror movie
 
@badp hmmmmm... can we switch off every other day?
 
@agent86 Here's an idea. We're limited to three concurrent bounties. One per day. (The minimum duration is 24 hours precisely.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I've always been somewhat afraid of them. Always worried a cable will snap and I'll plunge to my death.
 
I'll do the first three and you do the next tree, we wait 24+ hours and continue as such
 
4:24 PM
@Wipqozn Well, did you hear about the one in NYC earlier this week too?
This is the second elevator death we've had in a week
 
are you talking about the person being burned alive?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz The woman who got crushed trying to get out of an elevator ?
 
@Pubby Yes.
tends to be an oft-discussed subject in this room.
 
@Wipqozn Into.
@Pubby Both at the moment.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, no, I did not.
 
4:26 PM
@badp okay, sounds good. you want to do one bounty per day, for three days in a row, you mean?
and then I'll do one bounty per day, the next 3 days in a row?
 
@agent86 No, the idea I had in mind is we lest the question go wild for 3 or 5 days, then I lock it (to prevent changes in voting)
 
@Wipqozn She was halfway in and the door closed, yanked her up and crushed her between the elevator door and the shaft wall..
 
I also seriously doubt that I'm going to bottom out as a result of this; I think my forward momentum is such that I'm going to hit 10k in the next couple of weeks even with this hitting my rep.
 
then we go at maximum speed - 3 answers per, uh, 24/36/48 hours each? I have no idea.
 
@badp hmm, okay. this sounds like a good plan
I'll edit the rules to reflect it
 
4:27 PM
@agent86 I've also gained 300 reputation this month while spending a lot in bounties btw :)
 
@badp indeed :)
 
okay, I'm no guy who'll get Epic, but.
I've only lost reps to cap twice in 500+ days
I don't want to lose reps left and right!
THEY ARE MINE! MINE! _ALL MINE!_
 
@badp mwahahah!
also, do you mind if I open it up to other people to contribute bounties as well? I think @LessPopMoreFizz was interested
 
I don't
 
we will form the HOLIDAY BOUNTY DISTRIBUTION TEAM
 
4:31 PM
the more the merrier!
it also makes it less questionable if an answer was originally contributed from one of the team
 
people better participate like hell, lest this become one big incesty donators-become-donatees party :p
I imagine yelling "FREE REP" will result in some heft participation though
 
okay, the rules are updated, see if this looks better:

Q: How do you beat the boss in Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf

JeffHow do you beat the boss in Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf? I noticed two spots you can hit, his lower like organ and his upper unicorn head. I've never killed the unicorn head, but I am able to hit that lower organ. To beat it, do I just beat both the head and organ?

I've already removed the various all caps stuff and fixed the tag to put in drum set and take out fucking, since both wouldn't fit regardless. And yes, it's a real game, I've looked it up.
 
for SEO's sake it seems appropriate to keep it
 
It'd star it, people would know what it says, but it's less obvious.
Either f***ing or f*cking

... shit! I crossed it, and died on the next few saws :)
at least I know now
 
Sadomasochism broadly refers to the receiving of pleasure—often sexual—from acts involving the infliction or reception of pain or humiliation. The name originates from two authors on the subject, Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. A subset of BDSM, practitioners of sadomasochism usually seek out sexual gratification from these acts, but often seek out other forms of pleasure as well. While the terms sadist and masochist specifically refer to one who either enjoys giving pain (sadist), or one who enjoys receiving pain (masochist), many practitioners of sadomasochism describe th...
 
@badp Need pointers how to cross the rest of the level? Pretty much know how to pass that
 
@Powerlord :|
@StevenJeuris I'm currently stuck at the first vertical jump
the one between the two vertically aligned wheels
the one time I've cleared them, I've failed on the second such jump
 
@Powerlord Aren't you the one always complaining that the bridge isn't work-safe?
 
@badp You mean, after you reached the top, you have to jump through the two vertical wheels?
 
4:59 PM
@StevenJeuris yes
I have yet to find the sweet height to jump from
 
@badp K, when standing on the top, release 'shift'. Do a regular jump down and try landing on the small platform underneath both wheels. Then just do a regular vertical wall jump.
 
@StevenJeuris Oh. That probably works better
 
Works 50% of the time for me :)
 
@StevenJeuris 50% of the time, it works every time.
 
(I'm probably guilty of the above half the time, all the time)

simplest method is in yellow
 
@RavenDreamer Best to post that image in your answer to prevent link rot. ;p

I was wondering if that was possible
gotta worry about not dying on the saw immediately following that landing
 
And not hitting your head on the way out and to the right
Meatboy would be champion long jumper.
 
@RavenDreamer Well, finished that level. Stopping for today. Should get some work done still. Thanks for the hint!
