any time i link a post, i'm going to write a copyright disclaimer on it now, just for the lolz
@KazWolfe she knows she is your aunt too
there is no such thing as a license to hyperlink
@Wipqozn She also knows it's you. Your address is on the letter.
and if there is I will reject that reality and replace it with my own where there is no such thing as a license to hyperlink
@badp well to prove that i have a right to link to the content, and the content is legal for mirroring
19:02
@Wipqozn Sure, but she only can be sure it's for her if it's addressed to her.
Also
Every Olympic event should include one average person competing for reference.
3
@badp no, there is. You buy an app that comes with an exe, like 8.8.8.8/download/theexe.exe
@Sterno what is average?
linking that is illegal
no
making it available might be illegal
but you bought the right to use that link
19:03
merely linking to it cannot be
@Dragonrage the guy that stops running halfway through the 100 m dash and puts his hands on his knees to catch his breath
i'm smoking the DMCA
you know what's one funny thing about the DMCA
it's 'merican law for 'merican people
@SepiaLazers #makearqadegreatagain
19:04
@Unionhawk The temptation to include that line was high
@Wipqozn you're a mod, you can
so even if the DMCA has such bullshit in it, it's none of my problem
if you have a DMCA complaint don't send it to me, send it to Stack Exchange
@badp DMCA complaint: The DMCA is stupid
@twobugs Just saw this. Did I answer it already?
@badp Please don't use mental health slurs
@Sterno I don't think so
19:06
Also, base-building seems pointless in NMS. You're always moving forward.
@twobugs please don't challenge others use of words. it's offensive and limits their right to express their individuality.
@twobugs #PCCultureRules (sarcasm intended)
no, no, @twobugs has a point
@KazWolfe I think you're missing the point
19:07
@KazWolfe No, @badp shouldn't have used that word, which is why he edited his post when @twobugs pointed it out
@twobugs Well, I have to answer it as someone with a lot of disposable income, so if I only get 10 hours out of it but they were a good 10 hours, I don't mind the $60. I don't regret my purchase. But definitely by about 5-6 hours in things were getting repetitive. Planets don't look the same but you know exactly what 8 or 10 kinds of things you can expect to run into on them. Those 8-10 encounters all play out pretty much the same way over and over again.
@Sterno Okay, thanks for the feedback
Buildings don't really have more than maybe 1 or 2 layouts. NPCs have a lot of different things to say but they all pretty much boil down to a multiple choice of guessing what they want (until you get a lot of language translated)
yay sarcasm
@Sterno Yeah, I suspect I'm going to wait for a steam sale.
19:08
@twobugs: i posted a meta answer
1
A: Is sharing links to unofficial download sources of free games allowed?

GodEmperorDuneNo, we should not allow those links, but they are not necessarily piracy Our scope should not include determining copyright claims on unofficial links to tell if something is piracy or not. You mentioned that these are "unmodified installers", but how are we supposed to determine at a glance if ...

I have a lot of disposable income too but I think I'll hold off for now because I have so many games
I'm still playing it and look forward to more, but I'm not sure I'll be interested enough to get to the center of the galaxy.
@KazWolfe I think you're using the term 'sarcasm' incorrectly
Plus, the game doesn't really seem to be getting harder as I go. I'm getting more inventory slots, better ships, better equipment/upgrades, etc, but the challenge remains constant.
@twobugs Inconceivable!
19:09
@GodEmperorDune Cool stuff, checking it out now
But maybe that changes if I get further. I kind of doubt it since it's proceduraly generated but who knows.
I have yet to die in the game so I'm not sure it works as a survival game
@Sterno Exactly Like Dark Souls apparently
Remember how in Dark Souls when you died you would spawn a corpse?
And you had to go to that corpse to get all your loot back?
No.
But Terraria hardcore mode, sure
The types of thing that probably would kill me in this game are the types of things I'd have a hard time recovering from
(The joke being that a bunch of people said this was a mechanic that is Just Like Dark Souls You Guys)
Well 3 different sources remember that!
23 hours ago, by Unionhawk
TIL no game mechanic has existed before Dark Souls https://t.co/hvPao0B6XD
19:11
@Unionhawk with the save
so question for @mods, what happens to a user's post when they're deleted?
@GodEmperorDune If you really want to troll me you just have to say Berserk is a clone of Dark Souls but be careful because I may actually destroy you
I've been playing a lot in the outer systems. I think I'm only 4 jumps in towards center, and from what I understand the center is A LOT MORE jumps away. So maybe even though it's procedurally generated, it's still tougher as you get in more. I might be OP for the outer edge due to spending a lot of time exploring planets
@KazWolfe When the user is deleted? I think it depends
COPPA deleted? BURN EVERYTHING
19:12
@KazWolfe Depends on how the user is deleted.
Or maybe everything you see out there is the same as you see further in. Wish I knew.
There's about 3 levels of user deletion
Regular deleted by request, anonymize?
Mod deleted, no idea
@Sterno How much progression is there?
Yeah, if a user with meaningful contributions is deleted, then their stuff is anonymized.
19:13
Anonymization, destruction, and COPPA
Spambots can be deleted and have all their posts burninated along with their account.
@twobugs A lot but none of it has been necessary yet. It's all just been quality of life, like more inventory space.
but a user with real (and useful) content is deleted, they don't lose answers, correct?
Well you mentioned being maybe overpowered for where you are. I'm curious how that could be
Well, that's not true. in the very beginning you have to fix your spaceship and figure out how to make a warp cell to jump to another system. But that doesn't take long and after that I haven't really needed new tech
I've got damage upgrades for my weapon (which aren't needed, but make it faster), some upgrades that let me breathe underwater or resist cold (which again, aren't really needed... there are a billion planets that are all roughly the same, so why insist on going to the ice planet)
19:15
@twobugs never played berserk
@KevinvanderVelden I think mods have anonymize and destroy
I don't know though
So far the only thing that attacks me are drones when I'm misbehaving, and they're easy to kill. And the really rare wildlife, also easy to kill.
We don't handle coppa
@GodEmperorDune This is not the way to offend me
In space, I have had a pirate try to kill me, which is the closest I've come to death. I also haven't upgraded ship weapons/shields at all because that would cost inventory space
19:15
You are bad at offending me
Just like we don't handle dmca
@twobugs is his bad offending you?
Mostly though I'm only in danger of dying if I do something dumb like go for a stroll too long on the acid rain planet or try to go somewhere deep underwater and misjudge how long it will take me to resurface
@badp You'll never take me alive, coppa!
And I'm getting upgrades that extend that time, though the key point is that really, I never need to be in those situations in the first place.
Can a mod drop into a private chat? I have a concern I'd like to deal with.
19:17
Are you growing insufferable to inadequacy?
@badp I mean, you pass it through to the right people
@twobugs something something inadequate mousing
@KazWolfe Private Chat? On my Stack Exchange? It's less likely than you think
@twobugs there are seekrit mod things
@KevinvanderVelden anyone can
19:17
@GodEmperorDune Hm true
We fill in the contact us form like anyone else
I will allow this
yeah, mods get the cool toys
i mean usually you modflag something with your concerns
We can also flag things for CM attention, it's true, but unnecessary
19:19
yeah, this is a follow up to a previous incident, which i don't think can be handled easily by flags
@badp oh, I assumed you had something special for that. I'll won't bother you then if I see it happen next time
@KevinvanderVelden it's no bother but we just pass it through
so it may be more efficient to DIY
Yeah I assumed "summon CM" was a mod ability
If someone doesn't know better and flags they won't have their flag dismissed or anything
Or, you know, whoever gets summoned in that case
19:21
No mod will go angry

Q: Pokemon Go. Permanent ban?

Madi_DebbI tried to spoof my GPS location on pokemon Go but it didn't work. I know I shouldn't have but I can't afford Internet on my phone (dunno how to say it but I don't have data except with wifi) so I tried. Anyway after I tried it kept saying: "location not found". I couldn't play because of that so...

@Unionhawk Summon CM (Conjuration, Master, 875 Magicka): Summon a CM to deal with a problem post. Will remain until post is deleted.
except @Wipqozn he goes moody occasionally
@badp I mean, if I can do it then why would I bother you, it's not like you don't have anything better to do =p
@Lazers2.0 must control urge to VTC as dupe
19:22
@KazWolfe I can
@KevinvanderVelden more power to you~
@Wipqozn if you want to deal with it, sure
@KazWolfe I'm not even sure what you want to talk about yet
@Wipqozn Previous problem with a high-ranking user that was "resolved", which is now slightly concerning because i may have done more damage than repairs to the issue at hand
though if it's like @twobugs you're reporting for coppa then a tip to the anonymous drama police that does not exist is appreciated
19:24
How do we contact them? [email protected]?
@Unionhawk send your full name, address, SSN, and bank account details to [email protected]
@GodEmperorDune dont forget to include your mother's maiden name
Don't forget your credit card number
we as a culture don't really care about SSNs, do we?
#plzSendTehMonays
19:26
i mean, we enter them in so many places
They are not very secret in Italy anyway
SSNs in combination with name is considered PII
If you know someone's full name, place and date of birth, you can calculate it
but if you throw digits out there like 12-867-5309 those are not protected
also the name of ur first pet, your first significant other's name, your favorite team, and your first grade teacher's name
19:28
@GodEmperorDune 420-69-xDxD
@Unionhawk ,,,,xD
The most important question of this Olympics.
@Yuuki yeah he can!
If attaching a bank card do not forget to include the personal identification PIN number
19:29
@badp more like PIN identification number
@GodEmperorDune good thing no one stores ssn in plain text.
@Dragonrage they are not supposed to
GOOD THING NOBODY DOES
@badp what if I'm detaching a card?
votes are 2-2-2: meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/11892/
19:30
@GodEmperorDune i know of places that do
@MattE.Эллен don't
understood. doesn't
I mean
You COULD
but then you would have to replace it with $700 worth of steam codes to resell on very reputable online marketplaces
to cover for the processing fees
@badp g2yay
ah. processing fees

Q: How do I breed a tame donkey?

Nerdgirl02Ok so I have this town world and I own a horse pasture. I have two donkeys (both tamed) that I would like to breed; however, I have tried feeding them wheat, apples, carrots, etc but they will not even eat it, much less breed. The internet said carrots, but I have already tried that, as stated ab...

Q: How do I follow a path other than the Atlus path?

SternoAt the very beginning of the game, I had a choice to follow Atlus or "explore on my own, and I chose Atlus. Did this look me in to the Atlus path? Based on this developer blog post, it sounds like there are two more paths. Am I going to have a chance to switch over to these? Is it too late based...

@Lazers2.0 when a mule and a horse love each other very much...
@GodEmperorDune other way. donkey + horse = mule
G2A: proving there IS such a thing as theft of digital goods
(still not theft but a hell of a lot closer)
@KazWolfe rekt
19:36
I made a block of text about g2a today: reddit.com/r/CrackStatus/comments/4805du/…
(why I was on that sub? came from a kotaku comment)
@GodEmperorDune pretty sure. my brain is weird
@KazWolfe yeah, wikipedia confirms
awesome.
and thanks again @Wipqozn. You rock.
@arda what
Yeah I'm pretty great
2
19:38
g2a.com/r/crackstatus
Is that a thing
I don't want to check if that is a thing
Please tell me that's a thing. Or not. I don't know what I want to believe
@badp apparently. I saw that link on a kotaku comment kotaku.com/that-s-completely-wrong-1785062523
@badp it is a thing
Oh it's "just" a referrer link
@Wipqozn Alexander said he was great, and guess what the got him? Killed. That's what.
can i flag a post as both NAA and VLQ?
19:41
another satisfied customer @Frank
go figure frank the primary offender of people who jump at a chance to get any question closed immediately is the first to jump up and defend his actions....he dont get that having questions closed especially for new users is offensive to users as a whole and is the primary reason I turn to many other sites before I resort to stack exchange...the strict ban hammer laid down by this type of user is bad for the general forums as it reduces traffic from discouraged users.... — Firobug 5 hours ago
@KazWolfe you can't flag as VLQ
@arda huh?
@GodEmperorDune Either that gets edited, or it gets flagged. Its got zero constructiveness to it.
@arda yes you can
but what if it deserves both?
19:43
The comment, I mean.
waıt
@KazWolfe just flag naa, it will get deleted
@Dragonrage ah, my bad
that's what i ended up doing
@KazWolfe The system won't let you yeah
19:43
but some answers really deserve both
They're basically the same thing
@Frank yeah, the same user posted a long ramble meta answer too
don't you hate when sentences don't end the way you octopus
@Dragonrage that's the one.
my Q key is broken, so copy pastaing
19:44
@KazWolfe NAA is fine for it
@arda how many keys are broken on your keyboard?
@GodEmperorDune 8
why are there no more good pogo questions, really?

Q: How do assassins swim in armour?

AJFaradayOkay, I've been playing the Assassins Creed series of games for a number of years now, and something about them has been bothering me that I can't quite put my finger on, and I've just worked out what it is. From Assassins Creed II onwards, you are able to both swim, and purchase ever-increasing...

Q: How can I get into the House of Respite?

Shadow WizardWhile back tracking old quests, I stumbled upon this place in Velen: The guards won't me in, and there's no real dialog with them. The whole place is surrounded with an unpassable fence. This is the location in the World Map: How can I get inside? I have completed all the secondary quests ...

2 still works, but are physically broken
@KazWolfe Because every good question about the game has already been asked
19:46
i wish there was a thing to retract flags. occasionally i flag something incorrectly and i want to retract and flag it correctly.
@murgatroid99 and most of the bad ones
I cant order a new one as ebay doesnt work due to paypal getting shut down

@djsmiley2k how's that tupperware @Wipqozn?
:D
Waters fresh!
tho he's not too happy as it's not as warm as it was
19:47
@djsmiley2k maybe you should rename him @wipqqozn
that's kinda a pun, time to cc @Wipqozn and jealous @fredley
@djsmiley2k is that a red eared slider? it looks similar to one
That guy doesn't like that I edit out his spam links to his own products.
Ironically, I don't think I've actually duped any of his questions.
I don't know. This NMS dev needs to work on his communication skills. From what I'm reading now about the game paths, he said there were 3, but it sounds like they're "go to the center", follow atlus", and "free roam". "Free roam" is just running around doing whatever you want, which you can already do on the other 2 paths. That doesn't sound like a separate path/ending to me.
Or maybe people just didn't find the 3rd path yet, but based on how the multiplayer stuff is playing out...
why are tag badge milestones so weird?
@Wipqozn I am so disappointed in you for the missed opportunity to say "make Arqade great again." You are objectively the worst.

LoriI am playing on my galaxy S6. Everything was working great until the other day.

@arda Fun fact: this pinged me.
@Arperum So did this.
i have a red eared slider. it is a bit smaller, but similar coloring

@MadMAxJr Excuse me sir, your language is very similar to one I used in some copyrighted material. I kindly request you cease and desist from using English.

Q: What does this icon mean?

DragonrageI noticed this icon (the snowflake in a rounded triangle) while watching someone stream, but haven't noticed it while playing myself (could just be a lack of paying attention to the screen while not in champ select/game). I haven't seen it before, what does it does it mean?

Q: Do upgrades of the same type stack?

SternoI've noticed on my multi-tool that if I can only have up to one of a specific upgrade but can have multiples of the same type of upgrade if they give different bonus amounts. For example, let's say I've got a mining laser and the level 2 upgrade that gives it more combat damage. I go into the cr...

enkryptorI've posted this question both on SE and on Reddit. The question was about necessity of alts in Eve Online. I asked, since gameplay is versatile in Eve online, what activities required alts and what did not. ("alts" means second, third, etc. game characters, in addition to your "main" one) On R...

@TimStone salt gun? must be what bastion uses
I'm so confused though
> The Bug-A-Salt shoots a shotgun spray of regular table salt and decimates flies on contact. A surefire fun way to enjoy a disgusting task. Rid your house of all those pesky pests and have a blast while doing it.
Like, your house is now fly-free but you have to clean up a bunch of salt?
My cat just caught a fly and the only downside to that is that my cats are assholes

@Dragonrage and NY :(
i want one of those pepper spay pellet guns though
@Dragonrage would not recommend using a pepper spray gun to kill insects indoors
@GodEmperorDune no, i was planning on using them to kill bugs outdoors
