HOW COLD YOU FORGET ABOUT MMORMROMRRRMORNMORROMORNGNINGM
Eevee summons all the Eevee evolutions for its Z-move.
Hm I may have broken a rib. But more likely just pulled a muscle
@Yuuki Wait, Z-move? Is that like a new ultimate move similar to mega-evolution?
@Nzall Kinda.
In fact, pretty much.
I still haven't finished any of the post-DS pokemon games
15:02
> Passimian has a new Ability, Receiver, which no other Pokémon has previously had. With the Receiver Ability, this Pokémon can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle.
That's interesting.
I wonder where my DS is
like, I have finished the Game Boy Advance games, but not any of the later games
anyway, my ride's here
Fighting is weak to only Flying and Psychic, right?
cya
Oh and Fairy.
Interesting, a fast Rock-type.
And it has a priority Rock-type move.
RIP Talonflame.
15:06
2016 has claimed another. RIP #Brangelina
Ugh I really hope I didn't break a rib
Also @Yuuki I did not forget about you, sorry >_<
@twobugs Ribs are del…err, I hope you didn't break a rib either

Q: How can I auto-balance two or more chests?

PhilippI have multiple chests which are in close proximity and all store large amounts of metal plates. I would like to distribute the load evenly between them, so that all chests always contain roughly the same amount of plates. Preferably I would like to have some setup where when any chest has more p...

@Yuuki there is no way those z-moves will be anything but annoying
I love that Eevee's is just a mega-buff
@KevinvanderVelden I think they'll be balanced similar to Mega Evolutions in that your Pokemon needs to hold an item to use its Z-move.
@Yuuki I'm not talking about balance, I'm talking about those bloody half an hour animations =p
@TimStone Or did you...?
@Yuuki And once per combat
15:13
@TimStone Better take: Brexpitt /cc @fredley
@Fluttershy I DID NOT. GOOD DAY SIR
@TimStone Did someone steal fizzy lifting drinks?
More realistically, it will end up like trace.
I…Uhh…maybe?
Would be an awesome bug if they don't realize that.
15:16
Made me think of that, hehe, sorry :)
That is indeed the refrance to the RIP
@James Ohhhhhhhhh, of course. Sorry, I'm only half-awake, in retrospect it should have been obvious
:D
@TimStone D:
A rep for @Skittles gives me their response to @DonaldJTrumpJr https://t.co/OmkJQkIqug
15:18
I just felt a sharp pain in my side while taking out the trash
Too bad there's literally nothing you can do about that
\o/
Other than painkillers
If I move in certain ways it's Very Bad
Painkillers work
Luckily, these are the movements I need to make all day every day
Driving to work was physically painful
Did you try solving the issue with ductape?
15:23
Not yet
Scuba gear might also help
I'm sure @Uni can provide detailed instructions on the proper use of scuba gear in fixing your ribs
@Unionhawk So what you're saying is he should disable one of the regulators and fill his lungs so that they're popped back in place
15:34
What's that boy? @twobugs is stuck in the old well?
@KevinvanderVelden I see no possible problems with this plan. For SCIENCE!

Q: Connectivity problems with 7 Days to Die

Timmy JimIn light of asking this question in the Meta section of Arqade, I've decided to go ahead and ask this question. My friend and I have recently purchased 7 Days to Die on Xbox One. We would really like to take advantage of the multiplayer, but we are having difficulties trying to. If I host a p...

Q: What do the symbols on the workshop items mean?

VemonusI recently started playing Fallout 4 again after binging it for the first two months it was out, and I have all of the DLC. I noticed a ton of new workshop items that I could build, but some of them have icons (deathclaw head, gear, etc) on them and I'm not quite sure what they mean. What do thes...

Q: Is there a way to see how long I've spent playing any particular game?

JonWI'm curious to find out how long I've been playing No Mans Sky, and there's nothing that I can see in-game that would tell me that. So I was wondering if there's a global Playstation 4 data / stats screen somewhere that tells me the duration I've spend playing any single game. I thought the tro...

@Yuuki someone is going to be literally killed over that :(
@KevinvanderVelden Always acceptable

Windows 10 update just repinned IE to the taskbar. HERESY
But that's not IE anymore.
That's his sporty 90s sunglasses wearing cousin EDGE.
@Sterno wat why
Edge has a skateboard and is cool and popular according to his Windows trading card.
Is that an actual thing?
Right now I'd link the Overwatch Reaper throat-slit animation to mock "edge" but it took too long to google
15:54
@MadMAxJr "Like, duuuuude, check out these totally radical Bing searches, maaan... far out!"
You wanna.... log in and lemme track those searches of yours? I give you points and medals dude.
@MadMAxJr Points you say? Suddenly I'm listening
close enough
For points are more important than life itself
15:56
@Unionhawk Dog DOG DOG!
"Yo, I can totally link to your Xbox and play the sportsball game maaan, grab some bros and some brews!"
Look Edge, just help me get Chrome in here, alright?
I don't wanna be 'that guy' but that's all I needed you for.
Look, we can treat it like moving a couch, I'll totally pay for pizza afterward, just help me get Chrome in here.
I'd really like it if windows just shipped with wget, then I could skip opening ie even once
"Naaa man, you don't want to hang out with that square... look at him! pick me. Pick ME. PICK ME!"
Don't be like this man, or I'll call Firefox.
I could get Opera in here and then none of us will be happy.
16:01
"Fine... it's like that is it? OK, no biggie, I'll go... but come patch day, watch your taskbar..."
Yeah yeah, we'll hang out later. Your image search is still pretty good.

Q: 5k eggs in my basket changing to 2k eggs

Karen RuhlederOn several occasions, a 5k egg in my basket has suddenly become a 2k egg. This has happened when both when my basket had an empty slot in it (just after hatching an egg but before getting a new one from a pokestop) and when my basket was full. There seems to be no pattern to which egg changes. ...

Q: SNES Zelda Randomizer

ToTheMaxSo I got a brand spanking new USB Super Nintendo controller for my computer, and I have decided to christen it with the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past randomizer program (https://dessyreqt.github.io/alttprandomizer).

Q: Pokémon go won't start on mobile data since the Buddy update

The only change recently were normal updates and the Buddy update for Pokémon Go. I was not having any problem at all until the Buddy update. Now I can only a...

errrm

china's space station is gonna fall to earth late 2017
Right on @Wipqozn's house
Anyone here still play pokemon go? I wanna brag about a pokemon you guys don't have
In that case no
17:02
Well tough, I've got a mr mime D:
@KevinvanderVelden How u get him?
and no, because they blocked my device -_-
@KevinvanderVelden no
@djsmiley2k by living in europe and having him show up at my sisters house while I was there
I think @Frank told me it's easy to get past that , maybe it was @Frank
@KevinvanderVelden I'm in the UK, so I've got 2 years right?
17:05
@djsmiley2k With Cyanogenmod, easy peasy.
yeah I got cyanogen
@djsmiley2k seems legit
Perfect.
wat I do what I do?
wife will be disappointed next time she wants to play and I can't
Get ES File Explorer, if you don't have it yet.
Give it root access.
17:07
got it, and done it i thiunk
I guess I need to reinstall too? (the pokego)
Nope
If you have given it root access, you need to find the /system folder.
There should be a bin and sbin folder in there.
yup
yus
Each one has a shortcut in there to su
Rename it.
dafaq
errrrrrrrrr
I only have bin, no sbin
I got xbin tho :/
Give ES file explorer root access?
I 'unno, just guessing
17:10
Xbin, I think it right.
Yeah.
That's the right one.
hmm failure
how do i give root to es file explorer D:
it used to hjave it but i nuked my phjone since then appently
Side menu in ES, scroll down.
Root Explorer
sorry, test failed, This feature cannot run on your device
D:
Can't help with that, I'm afraid.
You'll have to figure out how to give root access to ES.
This sounds like a problem for a gaming website.
17:14
damn right
@Sterno How to bypass Pokemon Go's anti-rooting code? While I'd answer it, I'm not sure it's really something we should support.
We're not the Niantic police.
No, but we don't support bypassing protections generally
@Frank Why not?
It's me after all :)P
17:17
Yeah, but that's usually because it overlaps with piracy. This doesn't.
I believe he's talking about the we-as-a-site =p
@Sterno But for some strange reason, we enforce company ToS. Which this most definitely is part of.
@Frank Do we? I thought we explicitly said we don't.
@Sterno Last I checked, we definitely do, based on one of @agent's old posts.
I'm searching meta now for relevant topics and having trouble finding any
I guess it comes down to whether or not you think this falls under "piracy"
25
A: When does a question "support piracy and pirated games"?

agent86When I think of the "no piracy" policy, I think of avoiding situations where we're suggesting an illegal or questionably legal activity to further another illegal or questionably legal activity. We close questions to prevent answers - in this case, the "evil" of the answer is the furtherance o...

Closest meta IMO

Q: Is breaking a ToS\ToU agreement illegal, and if so, why do we support this?

EnderThis question is not the first of its kind. I've seen plenty and so have you. In these kinds of questions the asker is clearly going to violate the ToS\ToU agreement the game throws in your face when you install it. Is this act illegal? If it is, why do we encourage\support\answer these questions?

Hold on, trying to find my post.
I'm just going to plant a modded minecraft crash log on the phone here...
wtf
so it seems i rooted my phone, installed cyanogen mod, reinstalled at some point, and my phone is no longer rooted?
30
A: What's our procedure for asking about not-quite-legal games?

agent86When it comes to legality, we tend to err on the side of assuming good faith here, and only prohibit questions that are clearly on the wrong side of the law, the terms of service, or the EULA for the software in question. (Do note that we specifically prohibit things that ask "is X legal?" as we...

Dat one
17:21
This isn't illegal tho
It's not even ToS level
Trying to play a game in a manner the developer has specifically prohibited is going to be in their Terms of Service.
> only prohibit questions that are clearly on the wrong side of the law, the terms of service, or the EULA for the software in question.
By the way, we need to codify questions about TOS and EULA violations in the FAQ. Right now, it only mentions piracy. — MBraedley Apr 11 '12 at 16:15
I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for 500, Alex.
If we aren't following that, I'd be fine with that. But that's how I understand it.
I'm not reading a TOS/EULA just to know if I should close a question
Can't say I'd blame you. I'm just assuming circumventing the anti-root is in the ToS in the first place.
17:25
Is circumventing the anti-root even on topic?
Isn't that more of an android thing?
@Sterno I'll handle that

Q: Is asking how to get a game working on a jailbroken device on-topic?

SternoRecently, some people haven't been able to play Pokemon Go because their phones are jailbroken. Would discussing how to get the app running on their phones be on-topic, or is that an area we don't want the site to get into?

TOO SLOW, LAZERS
Wrong answer: migrate question to Lifehacks.
17:26
@MadMAxJr We save that for the truly horrible questions.
@MadMAxJr Meant to ask: How's the kit building going?
Hooray for not settling with "closest meta"s
I'd like to jailbreak my phone. I have my iPhone 4, a shoe, a screwdriver handle, an axe head, a PS/2 Keyboard, a small pile of transistors, some watch gears, and a glass of water.
New MacGuyver show premieres Friday
It looks so bad.
But I kind of want to watch it and then ask Lifehacks questions about every "invention" every week. With screenshots from the ep
@Frank After opening sub-box A, looking at the construction guide and the sheer quantity of sprues, I decided I need to archive some items on my hobby shelf before the build begins.
So it went on pause.
Probably start Dendrobium up next week.
@MadMAxJr For the Dendrobium?
17:28
Yup.
He's way bigger than I thought.
Yeah, the box is a perfect grade size.
For a 1/144 scale.
Yeah. I found online there are psychos who homebrewed 1/100.
An actual 1/60 scale Dendrobium would take up a full table.
@MadMAxJr I'm waiting on a third party 1/100 GN-Arms
Honestly after seeing... what is it, the Neo Zeong box? I would fully expect it.
@MadMAxJr That kit was rather dissapointing, from what I understand.
17:29
I got the HiRez Barbatos finished. It's a very nice looking kit. It just feels like cheating.
Just lots of hollow pipes, without much detail.
I need to hit the HobbyTown USA on the first of the month. They're getting a new shipment in which apparently includes new releases.
I'm hoping my local hobby store gets a Delta Plus in soon.
Eager to nab the Barbatos Lupus with those forearm guns.
Went halfway across the continent, and none of the hobby stores had one.
17:31
I still dream of finding B-Club parts. :P
I have the old Sazabi kit on the shelf. I'd like the long-booster and beam rifle.
@MadMAxJr I don't think I'm familiar with this.
B-Club parts?
Yeah.
I know what P-Bandai is, but that doesn't sound like the same thing.
Small batch resin parts produced by enthusiasts to add high detail hands and accessories for uncommon variants. Mostly made around 2000-2007 I think.
Ahh.
In that case, you might like e2046.com
17:33
@MadMAxJr do you have any scuba gear?
That's not something I do, no.
Most problems can be solved with scuba gear. It's just science.
@MadMAxJr Well then I don't know how to further burn that joke to the ground
After shelving my Gundam kits, I turned to my backlog of models from Kickstarter that really need work.
Stuff from Kingdom Death.
Btw, this makes it look like it was assumed jailbreaking was on-topic
17:40
k so shall i ask the android guys?
@djsmiley2k How to root your phone, yes. How to get PoGo working on a rooted phone, you should be able to ask here, I think.
this might explain why my phone cant self update at least
how do i have cyanogen mod if im not rooted anyway :/
@djsmiley2k Your phone should be unlocked if you are running Cyanogenmod.
unlocked.... = root]ed?
17:53

A: Is asking how to get a game working on a jailbroken device on-topic?

SternoYes, these questions are fine and on-topic. Jailbreaking a phone is not illegal, so answering these questions is not supporting illegal activity any more than answering questions about ROM emulations is.

Okay, ball is in the court of anyone who says "No"
@KevinvanderVelden my 2 yr old daughter caught a mr mime earlier
It's a weak "yes" answer, but hey, it's the "no" that really has a case to make
@Sterno NO, because pokemon go is lame
17:56
@GodEmperorDune My downvote is ready.
Though yes, it is lame
yeah i don't have any reasoning for a NO, so not going to meta

But you'd still lose to @spugsley

Which Pc/Monitor would work with ...

anyone want prison architect? i already have it but got the rest of the bundle?
19:01
Well, it's been a whole hour and no one has posted a "no" response to the jailbreaking. Clearly that means I'm right and amazing as always, and @djsmiley2k can ask his question and @Frank can answer it
An hour is like 7 hours in cat hours.
yey
2.1cept now feeding
In fruit fly time, that's like 52 days. Clearly, someone would have responded by now
@djsmiley2k Pro dads hold the baby with one arm, balance the bottle between themselves and the baby using their chins, and then compute with the other arm
@Sterno Does this generally fall in line with things like we can tell people how to configure their already modded console to bypass some kind of a game restriction? Like the PSP homebrew stuff, etc?
@MadMAxJr That sounds like a different question to me.
19:10
I agree. Keep 'em separate
I mean, if we already have a big meta about that, it might be relevant.
I'm just trying to figure if this matches existing things we allow. Easier to accept if there's a good precedent.
And I think we've had PSP homewbrew questions in the past, which require bypassing things, but the asker tends to have already done the hardware step before asking.
The distinction I see is trying to help users bypass restrictions in a game.
Instead of just touting my usual "It's a phone. Phones run minecraft. Minecraft can be modded. Modded minecraft can make crash logs. Close down everything."
I guess the ultimate question is does it cause harm to the user or Niantic to answer the question?
why should we base policy on what's good for niantic?
@GodEmperorDune I've been regretting not buying that when it cost $1. Also what bundle?
Oh now I see
i can send you the gift link on steam if you want it
Yeah I just discovered the power of scrolling
@GodEmperorDune Yeah I would thanks.
If you buy from a humble bundle, the terrorists win
@Sterno i guess terrorists win
this punch game from that bundle is fun so far

Q: Does dragging items defensively slow you down in Mario Kart 8?

ShawnPConroyI just bought Mario Kart 8 and was playing with friends. Someone said it seems like he goes a little slower when dragging an item behind his kart to defend against attacks. Was that an optical illusion, or do you slow down? I don't think previous games had a penalty for item dragging.

Yup, that's it.
Could you please tell me the exact Registry location of the Minecraft Start-up file?
My first instincts say try to delete and redownload
Is this Java Minecraft or Windows/C Minecraft?
20:55
It's not like there's some registry key called HKEY_MINECRAFT_LIVES_HERE or anything
My computer is not connected to the Internet.
It's Java Minecraft.
Huh. I didn't think Java minecraft embedded anything in the registry.
I forget who our local minecraft experts are...
@MadMAxJr same
Me, and no, it won't.
@MadMAxJr @Unionhawk
20:56
Yeah, I think it's a standalone executable
Yeah if @Unionhawk responds, he might have an idea.
I installed Avg PC Tune-up, and I think it thought that the Registry was an error.
I just recall that Java minecraft buries most of itself in your User profile...
But I've uninstalled it in the mean time.
20:58
I don't think it's a registry issue for Java Minecraft.
Oh I know the answer!
I'll let the others take it from here.
@Ronan True or joke?
I'm writing it now.
20:58
Okay, thanks.
@John Nothing in bridge is a joke. Everything in bridge is also a joke.
