Q: How can I tell if an iOS game uses iCloud Drive?

Anthony MastreanI recently got a used iPad to do some "mobile" gaming. I want to move some of my in-progress games from my iPhone to the iPad. I don't want to do a full restore because the devices have dramatically different storage sizes (the iPhone backup probably wouldn't "fit"). I also intend to set up the i...

Q: 6 Player X-Men Arcade Cabinet Compatibility

rkalajianI've got a 6-player X-Men Arcade cabinet and I was wondering what other boards might be compatible with it. Can I use any Jamma compatible board and will the dual monitors just mirror? Are they actually any other 6-player, dual screen games out there?

 
although the one lesson i took from the Empire is that it is very important to put a backup datacenter to beachfront property in dubai
what i'm not sure about is if they actually intercut original episode 4 footage or just recreated it
 
@GodEmperorDune Well, how else are you going to hire top-shelf server ops? It's not like you can just shanghai them into service, that's being an oppressive- oh wait.

Q: What are the Major differences between PSX and 3DS version of Dragon Quest VII

HimarmI recently purchased the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VII. I've noticed a few things while playing through it that are different than the Dragon Warrior VII PSone release in the mid 2000's. What exactly are the major changes or additions to the 3DS version compared to the PS one version.

Q: Legoland launches to a black screen

UltimatroSo over the holidays, I've decided to go retro and play some old games, one of which is the LEGOLAND game. I set up a virtual machine with windows XP on it, because most old games run just fine on it, and the main OS on my computer is Ubuntu, so no windows games there. I inserted the disk, instal...

No
Are you serious Rudy?
 
Is this the hill you want to die on?

lolwat
 
Of all the weird hills to die on
 
8:22 PM
Some clones and doppelgangers are biometric?
And of those some, you have to clarify that they're made with DNA?

@KevinvanderVelden Former mayor of NYC.
 
@Yuuki you can I suppose make a doppelganger which doesn't hae DNA or something
 
@KevinvanderVelden Former mayor of NYC and Republican presidential candidate for like a week.
 
@arda Are you sure this is a real account?
 
(well DNA of the person being doppelgangered)
 
@MadScientist no idea. Be real or not, it's fun as hell to read.
 
8:23 PM
y #+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++‌​+++++++67
 
@MadScientist I really hope this is a fake account.
 
@djsmiley2k wat
 
@MadScientist Pretty sure
 
People need to stop adding "gate" to the ends of words just to signify a conspiracy theory
 
@RudyGuilani isn't verified, anyway
 
8:23 PM
@djsmiley2k has been hacked.
 
Giuliani was pretty unhinged during the election, so nothing would surprise me. But still, my first guess would always be "fake"
 
Don't believe anything he types, he could be a doppelganger, possibly made from DNA.
 
@Sterno watergate opened the gates to gate-gates
 
Yeah, but it wasn't a conspiracy theory about water and they just added "gate" on the end.
 
And I do seem to remember he was Rudolph
 
8:24 PM
Or he might be a Kanye-esque hologram.
 
@Unionhawk i don't know if any of the accounts claiming to be guliani are verified
 
I'm pretty sure at least one of them was
And I think it's this account
 
@Unionhawk google cache doesn't show the verification checkmark
/r/the_d seems to think it's the real account that was banned
 
@GodEmperorDune That's like the exact opposite of evidence.
 
I'm not sure now

Q: How to do bucket list challenge when car is pushed too far into the ocean

narawagamesHow do I do a bucket list challenge when the bucket list challenge car has been pushed too far into the ocean?

 
I thought Rudolph was the real account but, hmm
Maybe cross-reference @realdonaldtrump's following...
I see another account that looks pretty real but also unverified
Hmmmmm
The fact that this many @RudyGiuliani accounts exist with "official twitter account" in the bio is a problem.
 
Will the real Rudy Giuliani please stand up.
 
I know last time Rudy's account was supposedly linked in here it was a completely BS account
 
Like I said, there are several bogus rudy accounts
It's not clear which one is real if any are real
It doesn't look like that one though
 
How Can Rudy Giuliani Be Real If His Twitter Account Isn't Real?
 
8:36 PM
can anyone explain this meme about "if you don't count california, trump won the popular vote"? if you cherry pick a subset you can come to whatever conclusion you want
 
@GodEmperorDune Because everyone knows that all the liberals (i.e. fake people) live in California.
 
yesterday, by Unionhawk
I know California is a state & we have to count it, but if you remove CA, Trump won the popular vote by 1.4 million http://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/its-official-clintons-popular-vote-win-came-entirely-from-california/
 
@GodEmperorDune It's the whole idea of "electoral college protects us from big liberal states" (and also texas but)
 
Other then that: I have no idea
 
Or even just "prevents big states from deciding the election" which still undermines "one person one vote" BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT GO MY STATE
 
8:38 PM
@GodEmperorDune THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS GREAT BECAUSE WE WON
 
And also "causes there to be diminishing returns for states like California and Texas" BUT WHO CARES
 
@Unionhawk if you don't count the rust belt, hillary won the electoral college
i still don't get it
 
There's nothing to get
It's a dumb premise with a dumb conclusion
 
@Unionhawk It doesn't even do that though. If everyone moved to California except like 49 people who spread out among the other states, California alone would decide the Electoral College with 78% of the electors.
Or some number like that.
 
Please hold...
72%
Since each of those one people would have 3 electoral votes to send
Which would actually get interesting since they'd be people from california
 
8:40 PM
@GodEmperorDune Twist: Cassian Andor's birth name was Manny Bothans.
 
@Yuuki hue
 
Or just Manny Bothan, who led a group of spies known as "Bothan's Spies"
 
Now we just need to identify that mean bully Olive because Rudolph doesn't deserve being made fun of like that.
 
what about the one state without voters in it
 
@badp This is a super weird edge case that doesn't make sense.
But, I assume it'd get 3 electors
 
8:50 PM
Your face is a super weird edge case
 
@KevinvanderVelden Pretty sure that's your face.
 
@Unionhawk I mean it literally doesn't matter anyway

As evidenced by that.
> please don't downvote
 
9:10 PM
it bounced... twice
off both walls
and hit someone xD
 
@Frank downvotes
I like that he thinks anyone is going to do anything for $10 a year later
I also like that he thinks anyone is going to pay the $10 a year later
 
Not to mention, I'm fairly certain there already exists an SE site to ask about data analytics.
 
How about a system where we can pay a $1 to unstar someone?
 
@KevinvanderVelden The whole thing is a mess of issues.
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment lol a spam proposal. and i though a proposal for a Stack on making spam was spam
 
9:22 PM
@MadMAxJr i'll take that dollar
 
@Frank i'd upvote for it being useful....in detailing the proposal and how it should not be approved
@MadMAxJr don't the Mods do that already?
 
Apparently the temperature here is one whole degree celsius
but it is really cold
 
what is with the american electoral system
 
Why is the winter solstices garbage
 
@GnomeSlice it's shit, says the people who lost
 
9:24 PM
some electors vote unfaithfully and are simply replaced, some get fined, some get their votes ruled out entirely
 
@Memor-X no it has always been shit
 
why are the states allowed to make different laws on that lol
 
@GnomeSlice we don't have a national election, we have 50 and change state elections that happen at the same time
 
Because america is a giant lot of "LOL do what you want"
 
Cpcgray posted the relevant videos far before this election
 
9:25 PM
and those states have different rules
 
@GnomeSlice Because otherwise there wouldn't be a USA. There would be 50 individual states.
 
and the "faithless elector" thing has different penalties based on the state
 
@JasonBerkan you could still be an individual country with a straight popular vote like the rest of the world
 
they dont seem very united if an elector in one state gets replaced and in another you just get a fine
that whole system is dumb
 
@GnomeSlice yes, it is
 
9:26 PM
I guess the truth is
There really wasn't a blueprint for this sort of stuff
 
it's from an old racist compromise where slaves counted for 3/5th of a person for population but couldn't vote at all
 
so the whole thing just sort of happened experimentally
 
This is not a hat starbait.
 
@GodEmperorDune arms and one leg but not head?
 
9:28 PM
@GodEmperorDune Okay yes, the 3/5ths Compromise is racist as f--k. But no, 3/5ths Compromise did not establish the entire electoral system.
 
like wtf am I reading
 
so stuff governed by population, such as the house of representatives and electoral college, benefited the states that had large slave populations
especially because the slavemaster effectively got more power in their vote for owning slaves
 
@Unionhawk OH WHAT
 
@Yuuki the electoral count comes from house of representatives +senators, house of representatives comes from 3/5ths compromise
 
WHAT
NO
NO NO NO
GOD DAMN YOU @UNI
 
9:29 PM
nicely done @uni
 
@fredley what did he do?
 
but yes, the 3/5ths compromise itself did not establish the electoral college system
 
> Overall, then, the count at the end of the day Monday was: 304 for Trump, 227 for Clinton, 3 for Colin Powell, and 1 each for Bernie Sanders, John Kasich, Ron Paul, and Faith Spotted Eagle.
 
however since the whole "prevent a demagogue from becoming president" thing is out the window now, electoral college is useless IMO
 
9:32 PM
Oooo-weeeee
 
I just find it funny that 3 electors ditched for Powell.
 
@Yuuki they probably coordinated
 
Like these three had some kind of backroom meeting and were all, "if we vote for Powell instead, surely everyone will vote too!"
 
@GnomeSlice ya think?
 
And those 227 Clinton electors just facepalmed when they cast their votes.
 
9:33 PM
the republicans always have better party coordination on this type of stuff
 
> Meanwhile, the three Powell votes were cast as part of an effort from a group called the Hamilton Electors to throw their support to a moderate Republican, in hopes that some Trump-pledged electors would follow.
Is trump not a moderate republican?
 
@GnomeSlice I imagine that there were 4 of them and the fourth one didn't get the memo and voted for Kasich.
 
@GnomeSlice LOLOLOLOLOL
if he is, he sure didn't campaign as one
 
@Yuuki kasich is probably that guy that debated Tucker carlson who said he was gonna vote for kasich
 
@GnomeSlice He's neither moderate nor Republican, so by post-truth standards, he's definitely a moderate Republican.
 
9:35 PM
nor is he appointing moderate people to the cabinent
 
@GodEmperorDune Wrong. You're the puppet.
 
Checkmate atheists
/cc @badp
 
@Yuuki my boss (trump supporter) said that trump won the last 2 debates... i don't even
 
I love that they voted for Powell, because if I was an American, I'm fairly certain I would have wrote in his name.
 
@GodEmperorDune It doesn't matter who won the debates, America lost.
 
9:37 PM
meh, i was happy to help drive up hillary's margin in california
 
@GodEmperorDune Clinton's margin was surprisingly close in Texas.
 
@Yuuki Hillary lost
 
Like 14% or something.
 
your country will survive
 
unless the dems get their shit together in 2020 (or the third party candidates are batshit), i will probably go third party
 
9:38 PM
@GnomeSlice me too thanks
 
the earth will survive just fine after it burns all of us off it
 
dont be so melodramatic
 
@GodEmperorDune Didn't you hear? Global warming doesn't exist.
 
climate change is coming for all of us
in fact it's kinda already here
 
I need more comments on this tracklist:
 
9:40 PM
maybe we need to send a kid in a spaceship off to another planet with a better star and hope it works out for him
 
@GodEmperorDune Something something NASA funding.
 
@Yuuki no you are missing the refrance
 
@GodEmperorDune it might not since it tried freezing us to death last time and that didn't work
 
@GodEmperorDune I got the regermany, but I was riffing off of it, jeez.
 
@Yuuki i was hoping for some puns, like a better #kalExit
 
9:42 PM
i think in the end the world will have to follow suit of fiction, either create a bunch of WEAPONs and hope we don't have spike haired teens to kill them....or make a call to the other celestial bodies to send the Aristoteles to try and wipe us out

WolfEach category of Magnum Opus (car) upgrades is different in that some categories require sequential updates and others don't.

I at least hope Obama's chess game is stronger than just "I am doing a thing that Trump can undo on day 1"
 
@Unionhawk it wasn't up to him, he probably made things as hard to undo as possible but congress tied his hands on a lot of stuff
not to mention, trump is unlikely to follow the tradition of "the next president doesn't usually come in and piss all over his predecessor" just like he ignores most of the other presidential traditions
 
11:48 PM
> Obama relied on a 63-year-old law to make his moves, which will prevent future leasing of certain offshore areas for oil rights. His successor, Donald Trump, who has promised a policy allowing more US energy production, would face legal challenges if he attempted to reverse Obama's order.
 
like conflict of interest stuff, the presidential daily briefing...
@Unionhawk yay
 
Like, this would normally just be an environmental protection measure but since Trump doesn't seem to believe the environment exists, it's also spike strips to try to make damage harder
 
@GodEmperorDune i thought that was why he was reconsidering totally scrapping Obama Care and insted reviewing it to see what could be kept. it's not pissing all over it if he changes it a bit to make it better
 
@Memor-X the problem with slightly modifying obamacare is that certain parts of it are very fragile, so if you mess with those (like the individual mandate) without replacing it with something that does the same thing (and is just as likely to be disliked) then the whole thing collapses
and you get a bunch of stories on the news about person X who died because their obamacare plan discontinued thanks to congressman Y
just like there were a bunch of stories about how obamacare made person Z not able to afford insurance anymore
more likely they will try to do something delayed so that by the time it explodes they've already been re-elected and hope that no one remembers that they set the fuse in the first place
and the sad thing is that delay tactics like that usually work
for example, see Merrick Garland
