Q: FFXIII-2: Red Chocobo infusion questions - am I screwed?

RichDid I screw up my red chocobo? I infused Pack Mentality before infusing +35% Str from Tonberry. Here's my choco's current abilities (RL = red locked, YL = yellow locked). I also infused him with the Item Collector ability, but I don't need that one to stick. I marked those I do want to stick wi...

Q: How fat is this dwarf?

echobackAccording to the wiki's page on weapons and size, dwarves must meet a certain minimum body size before they are capable of wielding many weapon types. This has thrown an entirely new, unexpected level of complexity into forming a militia, as the only references to a dwarf's size I can find are li...

 
yay infinite moneys
 
You seem to be enjoying Cities in Motion @badp
 
LOL. The 'Vienna Sightseeing' achievement is unlocked immediately when playing that scenario.
@Wipqozn Not enough to play it for real. I'm cheating shamelessly and my service is subpar.
 
Ah, I see.
 
9:21 PM
I basically paralyzed Munich for three or so years.
Clearly I had to construct additional pylons cars.
for ALL the things.
(I also had a nasty yielding problem that was non trivial to solve without control over intersections)
 
@badp Can tell I am having a 'Id rather be gaming' moment when I try to close the popup dialog in a screenshot...
 
@James Closing that dialogue changes maps.
 
Oh, well thats not fun... Was that a challenge map or some such?
 
A scenario map. I completed the scenario and that was the congratulations message.
It congratulates me for not using metros. The green line in the minimap is metro.
Also, if you haven't heard.
This is apparently a thing, and not an elaborate troll.
 
This Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup tile set + tutorial is really winning me over.
Let's hope the actual game is awesome too.
 
9:31 PM
@StrixVaria Tile set?
My word. What sort of heresy is this?
 
@Wipqozn It's more than just icons for the ASCII symbols. There's also a UI.
Don't worry, though. I'm still not using my mouse to play :)
 
@StrixVaria Dungeon Crawl has really nice ergonomics. Moreso the console version, though.
 
@badp What game is that for?
 
@James ...Dungeon Crawl.
 
@badp Off to google I go :)

Q: Where can I find repair kits in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning?

David HoangRepairing items is very expensive and I want to use repair kits for this but I cannot find them. Where is the best place to find repair kits?

Q: Spice bandits: walls

Benny-boy-beeHow do you do the spice bandits level walls, I have tried and tried and tried but always die. Ive got the towers up too: sniper minigun 1, Super minigun 2, f.a.r.t tower 2, power gateway 1, aa gun 3 and buff tower 1. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

 
@Ullallulloo Peeking at the screenies, Thanks :)
 
@badp I spent a long time wondering how on earth this could be on the PS3/360/Wii.
 
@James so apparently Dragonvale questions can get quite a lot of views: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/61428/…
 
@BenBrocka I saw your note earlier.. I have to say those are the kind of self ask/answer questions that make me grit my teeth a bit man :)
 
9:39 PM
@James yeah I don't like doing it, but it's allowed in the FAQ and it's a good resource for a what a lot of people are looking for
And really, helping 3000 people who didn't ask a question on the site should be at least as good as helping one person who did ask a question on the site :P
 
@BenBrocka Did you help 3000 people or were they like me where I knew the answer then went to the question and saw you had already answered it? :)
 
I don't think 3000 people tried to answer that question.
 
@James anonymous Googlers aren't looking for questions to answer :P they're asking them
 
@BenBrocka Haha, So now the "views" number comes with being only people who were looking to ask the same question AND came in from google? :) Thats a mighty powerful statistic that :)
(that was satire btw ;))
Whoops
PS: I think I am up to being 5 of your views so far :)
feels like he stuffed the ballot box!
 
it's a very conservative view counter; you are one view, period
 
9:47 PM
... I didnt know /me would make it italic...
 
I think it's tracked by IP
/me srsly
doesn't look like it
 
Must be the command pack thing I have install on this system
chuckles.
 
I don't see anything wrong at all with people answering their own questions, so long as they're good questions
I mean, the system already rewards you less for it.
 
Same here. I thought I'd experiment and see if it got views. I did it to help googlers, not repwhore
 
Well there are about another 100ish? dragon types out there.. Time to start getting to it!

Q: How can I edit coalesced.bin so that I can use cheats and graphics tweaks?

SternoI've seen that I can tweak my game by editing files like bioinput.ini and bioengine.ini, but I couldn't find these files anywhere. They seem to be part of another file called coalesced.bin, and I don't know how to edit it. I want to do this so that I can tweak some graphics settings and set up so...

self asked and answered. Didn't want to some research I did to go to waste
 
@Sterno asking a question, figuring out the answer before others and then answering it is ok.
Asking a question because you have an answer to it immediately, rubs me the wrong way is all.
 
I'll ask questions I know the answer to if I struggled to figure it out on my own.
 
We're here to make the internet a better place, not offer people a chance for rep
 
But I won't answer it right away either.
 
I didn't ask that question until after I'd done the research and had an answer. But once I did, I realized it would be valuable to other people, and thus posted the question immediately followed by an answer
 
9:51 PM
I know its legal and its a service and etc so on and so forth..
 
Unless 17k people clicked on it to try to answer it themselves, I think it was a good thing :P
Totally trivial, stupid questions I'd agree with
 
@James it's not just "legal" it's encouraged in the FAQ, there's just some fairness built in to make sure other peopel get a chance to answer before you can accept
If people ask and answer tons of useless questions they can be punished for very low quality content
 
@BenBrocka Not with the voting rate we have on this site.. Its a site full of gamers.. People who are by definition competitive on some level and we take away rep for down votes.. Despite what people say very few people downvote because of that :)
 
<- 113 downvotes, 434 upvotes :P
 
question downvotes are free, as are flags
 
9:54 PM
@Sterno Like I said, very few :)
 
And answer downvotes are still cheap (so use them)
 
@Sterno about 1/5th of yours are down votes.. I am at 1/6th :)
 
That's still a relatively high downvote rate, lots of people (me) tend to have well under 1/10 downvote/upvote ratio
 
@BenBrocka Aye, again.. a few of us routinely downvote.. I downvote pretty much everything I VTC.
On an Unrealted note:

Just finished setting up a server where that is the basic layout of the minecraft world..
Map Navigation and Fall Damage just got a HUGE kick up in concerns :)
 
@James Using the nether terrain generation code?
 
10:01 PM
@OrigamiRobot Nope.. That is actually normal world generation but I have two tweaks to it.. 1) Biomes no longer have a height restriction and 2) Water Level is moved from 60 to 7.
That causes the world to not cut itself off at around the 60-70 range and instead leave the land all the way up to the 128 range.
Now I need to find a way to move the cloud layer closer to 200ish and redo the ore distribution a bit to take advantage of the larger 'ground to bedrock' range.
Well.. Iknow how to move the clouds.. in aether we had them down around 0, hehe.. I just want to see if I can do it in Bukkit.
 
the one thing I now know is that Miekagure, that 4D game, isn't actually dead.

Q: Learning automated trading in X3: Albion Prelude

ValentinSo I finally managed to learn trading in X3: Albion Prelude and equipped my Mercury with the MK3 trading software. Since then the function "Start sector trading" is available. But when I use it, the status of the ship switches to "buying 0 energy cells" and then switches back to "standby". Why do...

Q: Are all Empire Power Stations linked?

BlemWhen practicing some commanding vs bots I ran in to the problem of my Relay Towers loosing there connection when adding a Power Station further up in the link. This did not seam to affect my power, so is my link still there or are all Power Stations linked with out need of Relay Tower?

 
10:20 PM
@James what. HAX
that is way too pretty for randomly generated
 
Only 5 hours to go for Disgaea 4!
 
yay!
 
Arg! Chat disconnect, no wonder it was all quiet :)
 
Mine only shows 1700MB of data not 2.4
 
@BenBrocka Haha. I have been learning about minecrafts terrain generation and was amused to find out that it actually fills the entire chunk with all the solid vs not solid, then sweeps in with the oceans, then splits up the remaining landmass into different biomes and sub-biomes.
 
10:29 PM
You may have already had stuff I don't.
Or are you saying that's post-update?
 
yeah I'm all updated
 
And I wonder if some of it is replacing files rather than adding files.
 
maybe, updating reused stuff or something
@sterno did you get the TV?
 
@Sterno What do you mean 5 hours for Disgaea 4?
 
mine doesn't seem to have good sync
 
10:38 PM
Anyone up for some LoL?
@StrixVaria @Blem or anyone else who plays that I can't think of right now?
 
Guess i can, need to go to the bathroom first
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, I got the TV
@Fluttershy When I stuck the disc in it decided to download a huge patch. Slowly.
 
@Sterno Yikes...
 
@Sterno any v sync problems with fast moving visuals?
 
10:43 PM
@BenBrocka It's currently in a box in my basement, so I don't know.
 
I'm not sure I prefer it over my old TV or not :|
 
Well, it was a big TV, but it wasn't a high-end TV, so that wouldn't surprise me.
 
FAE
@BenBrocka I've had no probs so far
 
yeah, my last one wasn't high end either
maybe I'm just forgetting how disorienting disgaea's super high movement speed option is...
@Sterno btw, Disgaea lets you turn combat/movement speed to super high and disable attack animations for grinding if you did'nt know
 
sweet
 
10:47 PM
saves lots of time for Ordeals grinding (especially with slow attack animations)
 
Hrm. I'm not sure I saw that option on the DS. I'll have to check again
I'm not to the grinding stage yet anyway
 
How's it going?
 
Hello @Mana
 
@Sterno oh, maybe it's not on DS? Would suck if that's the case, it's a great feature
 
Hello, @Mana
 
10:58 PM
@RavenDreamer Wanna play some LoL?
 
@Fluttershy No access to a computer capable of running it.
As in, "has a mouse".
 
@RavenDreamer =(
 
I'm rockin a trackpad all up in this bad boy.
 
Stupid level 3000 enemies
 
@BenBrocka What game is this?
 
11:02 PM
@BenBrocka I got to the fight where some boss guy from another dimension shows up, and all you see is his foot. And he morphs into like 10 flaming hellhounds, which are all level 75, at at time when the party is about level 25. And I kept resetting my DS after dying and trying again until I finally found out you're supposed to lose that :P
 
Disgaea 4
Stupid prinny
he's way harder than a normal level 3000 enemy though, he's a boss
5 million health
 
@Sterno Some games its possible to win those fights. TVTropes told me there were even some non-standard game overs attainable that way.
 
@Sterno lol, yeah, disgaea 1 and 2 had fights like that where you're supposed to lose. You can win that fight in Disgaea 1 though (you can win all impossible fights)
 
Yeah, it seemed like I could have won it just by grinding before hand if I wanted
 
Ben, you're re-triggering Tristan's pings with pony-based magic.
 
11:04 PM
In D2 they did it right though, you fight a level 1500 character at level 20
 
stop it
 
I did like that I managed to get in a killing blow on one of the level 75 dudes and went up like 15 levels
 
@Sterno you're supposed to do it second playthrough, when 75 is nothing
 
@Blem You back yet?
@Blem We had to start. We only had time for the one game. =\
 
@RavenDreamer I think you're just glitched
WHY YOU NO DIE
 
11:10 PM
Apparently the last 80% of that patch was SUPER FAST because Disgaea 4 is now ready to play
 
yay
I'm almost halfway to killing this stupid robot prinny
 
@Fluttershy sorry, something came up that i had to do
 
Bah, back to grinding for me
 
@BenBrocka You kids and your grinding. Back in my day we danced all proper like!
 
Hooray! time to go pick up my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles.
 
11:24 PM
I'm such a noob, couldn't even kill a level 3000 monster with 5,000,000 HP :<
 
yx.
@FAE, @Wipqozn have either one of you heard anything yet?
 
@yx Nope :(
 
yx.
ok, I'll go bug them
 
FAE
@yx negatory
 
@yx Please do.
Oh, and @yx?
 
yx.
11:31 PM
yup?
 
<3
Scumbag chat. Not lining my heart up properly.
 
Ok Crawl is way more unforgiving than ADOM. I just killed 2 characters in the span of 2 minutes.
 
@StrixVaria How did you die?
 
@Wipqozn Doing stupid stuff.
 
@StrixVaria You kids
 
11:39 PM
The latest one was jumping into a room full of sleeping enemies because there was an amulet on the other side.
They were sleeping.
But then they all woke up :(
 
How far did you get in ADOM?
 
I almost made it to the Caverns of Chaos once.
But I didn't know which dungeon was the Caverns of Chaos.
And I went in the wrong one.
And was instantly slaughtered by a Blue Dragon.
 
haha
oh my
 
I'm kind of just trying to get a taste of a bunch of roguelikes, but at some point I want to pick one to really focus on.
 
The furthest I got was about floor...15? I think, of the CoC. I was killed by a hoard of vampires due to carelessness.
Yeah, that's the best way to do it.
 
11:41 PM
I kept trying to do the Puppy Cave.
 
@BenBrocka Is someone using D2 again and not meaning Diablo 2?? :)
 
I'm going to give crawl a go.
 
Is someone being a lame blizzard fanboi :D?
 
@BenBrocka I can if you need one.
 
Nah, one is fine
 
11:42 PM
I really like ADOM, but it takes me too long to set-up. There is too much randomness in the character generation, which results in me constantly remaking characters until I get the birthsign I want.
Well, it's mostly the birthsign that causes me problems.
 
Yeah I really, really like ADOM's gameplay.
I like it a lot better than Nethack.
I'm still too early in my Crawl career to judge how that one is.
 
Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of Nethack.
 
I think the only reason I played Nethack as long as I did (which wasn't even terribly long anyway) was because I found a Nethack port for my phone.
 
Yeah, nethack has been ported to just about every device which has ever existed.
 
crashes through the eternal question
 
11:53 PM
@Fredy31 Bookmarked, but not starred due to NSFW language.
> WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING GO TO
FRIENDLY'S ICE CREAM SHOP
What a terrible suggestion.
Unbookmarked.
 
That's what the "No thanks that place looks like shit" button is for
 
True.
Seriously, though, Friendly's as a first suggestion is pretty bad.
 
I seriously dig the design of that site though
 
@BenBrocka Yeah it's really awesome.
