how many questions are legitimately tagged with 5 things
here at least

@Lazers Hrm, I'm leaning a little towards "Not Constructive" on this one. It's kind of "How do I enjoy this?"
@FAE I think it's more than "kind of." >.>
user2334
That's what I got out of it too
user2334
Along with a massive facepalm
"Please someone help me, tell me what i can do to enjoy the game more."
05:06
@Fluttershy yeah, that's actually exactly what it says at the end. I feel like it might be a better question if he asked something like "is it possible to 100% skyrim?"
Anyone wanna see my finger after two days of intense neosporin action?
@murgatroid99 That would indeed be a better question.
Is it necrotic?
@Jin Would it be possible to make some lazers shoot from the eyes in the Diablo 3 logo on the main page, and make them like... burn off the tabs? >.> Maybe only on a mouse-over?
@NickT Nah. It's actually healing quite well.

Hi @The Bringer of The Bacon, I'm unfortunately voting to close your question as Not A Real Question because it cannot be reasonably answered on our website. This isn't an objectively concrete problem with the game that we can help you solve. Enjoyment is something completely subjective that we cannot judge for you. As our site is focused on Q&A and not discussion, this question would be more appropriate for a forum. Alternatively, once you acquire 20 rep, you can join our chat if you would like to discuss things there. — FAE 33 secs ago
@FAE Seems appropriate to me.
My new Gravatar may just be the best one yet! Be on the lookout for it!
@RavenDreamer You'll like my new gravatar.
05:19
@Fluttershy nice
@Fluttershy is that a screencap from the show?
@murgatroid99 Screencap plus a photoshop, I think.
@Fluttershy I thought it was something like that. I definitely don't remember her wearing a monocle
@murgatroid99 Me either. But the second I saw it, I thought, "This is now my gravatar."
I like that it has 300 views and 13k likes

Q: Eboard FICS guest doesn't work properly

foowgI can log on to FICS as a guest through eboard. I notice that when I start a timed game with an opponent (say of 10 min), the console reflects the board (in ACSII) along with the remaining time, but the graphic board doesn't reflect anything. Other than just the name of the opponent, the graphic ...

05:29
@murgatroid99 Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
@Fluttershy I'm not exactly sure what emotion that's supposed to express, so I'm just going to assume it's something like this
@murgatroid99 You nailed it.
@Fluttershy Yeah, I really want to watch that movie too
@murgatroid99 I'm excited. Nolan is an amazing writer/director.
@Fluttershy I agree. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies
05:37
@LessPop_MoreFizz Just because the answer is the same doesn't make it a dupe.
@murgatroid99 Have you seen any of his other stuff?
@Fluttershy I think I did not mean to tag you in that. O.o
53 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz
@RavenDreamer why would you answer an obvious dupe.
@LessPopMoreFizz One is, "Can I loop enchanting", and the other is "Where can I find the fortify enchanting effect".
@RavenDreamer You probably saw my ping about my gravatar, but had your reply to LPMF already typed. <.<
05:38
@Fluttershy Exactly so. It was "Oooh, yellow! clicks"
@RavenDreamer No worries. You see my new gravatar? =D
Is that supposed to be a monocle?
It is.
@Fluttershy yeah, a few others of his. They are all good
@RavenDreamer Right, but the only difference is that the latter question presumes that it's possible and he just doesn't have the effect.
05:39
@murgatroid99 Now I'm curious as to which others. >.>
It's two phases of the same question.
@Fluttershy Memento, Inception, Prestige, Batman Begins
Yes. But it's not close enough that I would vote to close as a moderator.
@murgatroid99 Ah good. Memento and Prestige were the two I was curious about. =3
@Fluttershy The Prestige especially I thought was amazing
05:41
@murgatroid99 The end of that movie blew me away. I had to go buy another ticket to watch it again the same day. <.<
@RavenDreamer I didn't ask why you didn't cast a binding close vote. I understand it's a close enough call to let the community come to that conclusion. I asked why you answered it. There's no point in doing so unless you're just flagrantly seeking to accumulate rep before the inevitable closure happens.
Because I didn't see the closure as inevitable.
Blah. I wish Stackexchange handled pre-formatted copy+pasted info better.
I think I will try that tomorrow night.
@Fluttershy That's pretty great. And it's because it's much more expensive to manufacture round cardboard boxes
05:46
@RavenDreamer Let me know how it goes.
There's also this:
Detroit-style pizza is a style of pizza developed in Detroit. It is a square pizza similar to Sicilian-style pizza that has a thick deep-dish crisp crust and toppings such as pepperoni and olives and is served with the marinara sauce on top. The square shaped pizza is the result of being baked, not in a pizza pan, but an industrial parts tray. The crust of a Detroit-style pizza is noteworthy because in addition to occasionally being twice-baked, it is usually baked in a well-oiled pan to a chewy medium-well-done state that gives the bottom and edges of the crust a fried/crunchy texture....
^ your solution
@NickT Pizza Hut has square pizzas...
apparently they are from Detroit. which I am happy to promote because awesome things are from detroit (Red Wings, electronic music, etc.)
Red Wings? Bah... Blues all the way.

Q: Why can I no longer find Sandstone Villa in Rathir?

user1113270I got the Sandstone Villa in Rathir as part of a quest, went there and used my stash locker, and can no longer remember where the house was located and don't see it in the local map. I even set the active quest to the task Sandstone Villa upgrades, and it sets the map locator to the Rathir exit ...

Good morning people
Doesn't that depend on where you/we are?
Either way. I hope you have a good morning.
Yes, but today I decided to greet like I was close to gmt time
Plus timezone neutral greeting get kind of bland - hi, hello, greetings, what's up? salutations and maybe a few more.
I hope it will be good, I am on my way to my first day at my new job
06:25
Congratulations.
Thank you
Break a leg! Just make sure it isn't your supervisor's :P
It seems to regularly get pretty quiet around here for the next few hours.
Yea, there is not a lot of Asian people here to keep the talk going this time of day
It's not just chat. There's also fewer questions. This is a good time to cut into the 842 unanswered questions.
@Blem Where are you from?
06:40
Says Denmark on their profile
And you, skovacs1?
Says Canada on my profile. You know, all you have to do is click on someone's avatar and you can pull up their profile. it's quite easy.
Yeah. But I'm lazy :)

But then, if the loading screen shows up, where it says: ''Loading - The cousins Bellic'', de game crashes after like 5 seconds. Not even an error message, the game ju...

Q: What are the effects of doing an autopsy?

galacticninjaAn effect I notice from doing an autopsy in Startopia (placing a dead body in the Analyser) is the report that is shown after the analysis is complete. Does the report have any significance? (Not sure if it's part of the game humor or has actual gameplay information.) Besides that, are there...

@agent86 Not sure why you added a bunch of stuff to my answer here: it substantially changes my answer and I can't/don't want to vouch for its accuracy. Not even sure it's relevant to the question asked.

Using scan-move "orders selected units to move to the target area or follow the target unit. Scan-Moving units wi...

Q: How do I mine gems and how do I build?

scorcher24I have completed the first part of the game and I am now in the last cell of the map, where you can continue to the world map. I have explored around 98% and scouted 100%. I also killed the Boss where you are told to turn around after finding new Spells. Then I found the settlement. My questio...

@Wipqozn Is that you holding it?
Why am I awake this early? o.o
@Fluttershy To talk to meeeeee
@OrigamiRobot No... No I don't think that's it.
Though we haven't actually had a conversation in quite a while.
Wonder what's taking Razer so long to restock that damn messenger bag...
Newest version of Fraps can record more than 4Gb of AVI movie at a time.
@StrixVaria did you like that video? Or are you just linking to it?

A: How to counter Anti-Mage late game?

anti mage fani am anti mage fan and i think most of plans above have low success chance because am is not alone in other team. There are 4 more bullies and can dish out enough damage. Ofc destroy the carry is good way to beat any late game hero. The counter to am (coming from am user, its what i feel hard ...

Ergh
At least, the first half of it.
12:23
@StrixVaria no, that's not it at all. There's an entire tumbler full of the stuff that I visit often. Start at the old posts: ask-jappleack.tumblr.com
@StrixVaria This is reminiscent of Spongebob Squarepants, to me.
@GnomeSlice I think that might be why I like it so much. I loved Spongebob.
...What the hell am I watching...
@GnomeSlice how did you take such a good screenshot of youtube?
@murgatroid99 P...Printscreen...
Then I cropped it in MS Paint.
12:29
@GnomeSlice It's just that if I did that I feel like it would take me longer, so I thought you might have had some tool or something
@murgatroid99 Press prinsctreen, open up Ms Paint, ctrl+v to paste, move to top left, shrink bottom right to edge of image, save, upload.
@murgatroid99 You could use the Windows Snipping tool, if you're in Windows.
12:59
@OrigamiRobot I wish!
I can't wait for the portal level builder. I wonder if I can sort out some sort of contest...
@GnomeSlice What sort of heresy is this? A new gravatar? This is madness!
@GnomeSlice wait, what? YOu're watching a MLP video? I assume hell has frozen over.
@Wipqozn Well I did skate to work...
@RonanForman Well, shit.
The world has just gone completely insane then.
Also, swoosh
@GnomeSlice In case you didn't know, alt+printscreen will only screenshot the current window, not everything on your monitor(s).
Makes for a bit less cropping.
13:12
@MarkTrapp, another question got closed as a dupe of that, but the answers on the old question didn't answer the new one. If you're irked by my additions, I can move them.
I didn't particularly want to duplicate the effort put into the existing answers, and the additions themselves weren't enough to stand alone on the question
editing answers to add additional detail seems like kind of the point of having a collaboratively edited site... so I'm not really sure if I should be sorry at the moment.
re: the meta thread, it seems like the point there is that if I did post it as a standalone answer, even though it doesn't answer the question, people shouldn't flag it as not an answer
Come on guys ask some D2 questions so I can farm up some rep.
Also, @agent numbers, do you think this might get more attention if migrated to meta.SO?
@StrixVaria If you want to farm rep on answers to questions about 10 year old games, answer my Ricochet question!
@DaveMcClelland Well, there's actually a D1/D2 contest going on right now.
So it wasn't completely without context.
@StrixVaria I know :/ I just want confirmation that somebody else still cares about ricochet
I've never even heard of it before.
13:26
I'm a bit upset that Valve is talking about development on Ricochet 2 as a standin for HL2E3/HL3
I want an actual Ricochet 2, Valve! :(
@StrixVaria It's awesome, honestly. I've played it at every lan party my high school friends and I have had since like, 2001
I am seriously considering playing through HL2 again to pass the time until D3 launches.
What can I do to improve my answer?
@StrixVaria Yeah. Moar rep needed! :P
I'm only 812 rep away from 20k. I need that delete privilege!
@fbueckert It already had mine.
@StrixVaria Thanks, Strix! And that amount of rep...is more than my entire amount. :P
oh, scrolling down on that meta thread, I see now that this is one of mark's pet peeves. hah!
I should post a list of all the things I don't like to meta, so I can reference them later when people do them
13:40
@agent86 Which?
@StrixVaria possibly. if it's tagged as bug though, I feel like I've been told the devs have a global "bug" filter they use across all meta sites
so it's probably on their list already.

Q: Dealing with answers extending existing answers

OakI occasionally encounter a case where an additional answer only adds information to an existing answer, instead of providing the whole answer by itself, e.g.: Question: a question asking for a list of all nunchucks locations Answer 1: a detailed list of 11 nunchucks locations Answ...

@agent86 Ok let's give it a bit then.
@agent86 My list would be too long.
13:55
@agent86 To be fair, you did add quite a bit to his answer. Granted, what you added was correct, but... Yeah. <.<
@Fluttershy (and @MarkTrapp) I can feel the rage today. Probably best if you want to have a calm discussion with me that you put this off until tomorrow.
@agent86 I'm not trying to rile things up, or even spark a discussion. I was simply making an observation.
@Fluttershy I understand. You just would not like the first draft of several of the messages I've composed so far today.
Y'know, this mini contest for D2 is making me participate much more than I usually do. And doing my rep no end of good.
C'mon, upvotes! Daddy needs new rep privileges! :P
@fbueckert I tend to go through slumps and productive periods, based on whatever games are most popular at the time.
Diablo 2 is definitely a productive period.
13:59
@agent86 Eh, it's not my answer, or even something I'd consider to be a problem (as I said, the information you added was correct). I understand his view on it just as well as I can yours.
As will Diablo 3 be.
> If you are not comfortable with the idea of your contributions being collaboratively edited by other trusted users, this may not be the site for you.
@StrixVaria This is the first contest I've participated in. The chance of winning D3 is doing good things for my motivation.

Q: In Quake, what's the difference between Armour and Health?

user717572Obviously when your health is 100 you can't pick up any more (normal) health, but you can add armour. But do they act different against damage? Or is armour just extended health? When you've hit with armour, you do lose health too. Would it be better then to have 80 health, or like 50 health wi...

@fbueckert I already own D3, but I still wouldn't mind the swag package. Good luck, though!
14:01
@StrixVaria Thanks!
@agent86 Like I said, I'm not trying to start anything, just making observation... =\
@Wipqozn Not a real one.
@Fluttershy and I'm not particularly welcoming to observations at the moment, sorry =\
@agent86 Then I shall say no more. Hopefully your day gets better though.

Is my edit here okay?
I modified the tag to be the full name of the game.
14:05
@GnomeSlice I think it's the only question about the game, but the has the wiki info on it.
7th guest for iOS is free on app store today in support of the May Day general strike.
3
@Fluttershy Oh... can someone copy the info then? I don't know how to do that. But yes, it is the only one.
@LessPop_MoreFizz And it is..?
@GnomeSlice Today only, yep.
@Fluttershy I meant 'what is it?'.
Also, sorry for the triple ping there.
The 7th Guest, produced by Trilobyte and released by Virgin Games in 1993, is an interactive movie puzzle adventure game. It was one of the first computer video games to be released only on CD-ROM. The 7th Guest is a horror story told from the unfolding perspective of the player, as an amnesiac. The game received a great amount of press attention for making live action video clips a core part of its gameplay, for its unprecedented amount of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and for its adult content. In addition, the game was very successful, with over two million copies sold, and is widely-rega...
14:07
Opinion question: Who else thinks synergies were the worst thing to be added to D2?
They completely removed customization options from the skill trees.
@Fluttershy I don't see wiki entries for either of them.
They completely invalidated any dual-element Sorc builds.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Jesus Christ, this is 624 Mb...
@GnomeSlice Yeah, it was one of the original CD-ROM games, and it used every bit of that.
14:09
I guess that means I can't download it, which is too bad. Could never get my mobile devices connceted to my schoo lnetwork.
@StrixVaria I'm working on a dual-element build Sorc currently. I don't know how viable it'll be past normal difficulty, but I guess I'll find out.
@GnomeSlice Just download it through iTunes and sync it to your phone. that works, doesn't it? >.> I've never tried.
It wasn't very fun at all until level 24, when I got Meteor.
@fbueckert Which 2 elements? Cold/lightning?
@GnomeSlice You should be able to 'purchase' it now and download later
14:10
Oh Fire...
@Fluttershy Don't have iTunes on my laptop, and at home it would take hours.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think that's how it works, it did the 'you need to use wifi or itunes to download this' thing after I put in my password.
@StrixVaria Cold/Fire. Based off of Glacial Orb and Meteor.
14:12
@GnomeSlice Mine says the same thing when I go to that screen. I dunno why that little blurb is showing up then...
Oh wait, is that because the tag is now gone? There's also no 'about' link on that page, but there is one on the page.
I remember one of my favorite builds in D2 pre-synergies was a PvP assassin. It used Mind Blast, Dragon Flight, Wake of Fire, and Lightning Sentry. The idea was I would get a right-click lock on the target, surround them with traps, use Dragon Flight to close distance whenever they got too far away, and chain stun them with Mind Blast as the traps were doing damage.
Clearly, the damage output from that now is just too low because the traps don't get any synergies.
@GnomeSlice Oh, if you click "Learn more" that little blurb shows up.
@Fluttershy Today you learn the difference between tag excerpts and tag wikis :P
@YiJiang I find there's always something to learn about this site...
14:14
@StrixVaria My buddy's building an Assassin right now; in PvE, even on players 8, he's doing lots of damage with the traps.
The blurb in the top box when you edit tag wikis is the one that appears on the tag liost page and the tag dropdown thingy
@fbueckert But does he have the synergies?
The bit you see in the box on the top of the tag pages is the first paragraph of the tag wiki
@StrixVaria Not a clue! I'll ask him later today.
In any case, I know it was a trivial edit, but I'd like to see the tag as the full name of the game whenever possible.
Anyone know anything about moving info to the other tag?
14:16
@GnomeSlice Easiest way is a mod merge.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds painful.
@GnomeSlice Only as painful as getting a mods attention.
I'm really stressing about this interview.
asdasdasdasdadsadsadfsdfsdfasdf
What interview?
@GnomeSlice Punching bag. Break glass. Work out the nervous energy.
14:20
I've got a 'job' interview in like 20 minutes. One of my professors recruited a bunch of media students because some of the 'applied research' people were looking for some.
All she knows about it is that they're doing an interactive children's book of sorts. No idea what I'm interviewing for.
But they're aware of that, so...
Are you supposed to arrive early?
So it's not actually an interview?
Yes, it is.
@GnomeSlice At least slightly. Much better than being late.
@YiJiang It's an internal position by the sounds of it.
It's just for a position working with a department of the college on whatever project they're going to tell me about during.
@RonanForman Sort of, they're doing a real project for a real (external) client. I had an interview with them for another project a few months ago.
I've only ever had that one interview before though.

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two *tank*plank builds for top lane or jungle?

eric fI go Philo>Wriggles>MercTreads>SpiritVisage>FrozenHeart>ThornMail Sometimes I get the boots with cool down. That gives me a ton of sustain and cooldown reduction to spam GP's ult.

Paging someone who knows the first thing about Minecraft to Suggested Edits, we have a content edit.
The first thing I learned about Minecraft was that I didn't want to play it.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Done.
I'm going to sit this round out. Hopefully whoever takes my (potential) spot picks D3 and adds even more awesome content!
@StrixVaria I'm still hoping my freebie from the KoA: Reckoning grant is good, since I wasn't around for the ME3 giveaway.
15:08
@Fluttershy I have a freebie from...Soul Calibur V that I also didn't use on ME3 for obvious reasons.
@Fluttershy Woot!
I'm not really too concerned about it.
I'm not going to go all crazy for not getting free games.
@StrixVaria Me either. But it'd be nice. =P
And the Google Doc is protected. :P
@fbueckert Yep... I requested access, but nothing yet.
15:13
Ditto.
Lauren is going slowly mad, granting access.... :P
@fbueckert More like Lauren probably went to grab coffee or something without realizing it's protected. (It shouldn't be, so she shouldn't need to grant access individually.)
@LessPop_MoreFizz Everyone tells me patience is a virtue. Obviously, gaming grants and contests were never considered when offering this advice.

It's too bad they'll be doing away with reimbursements
Wondering if I should apply for the grant even though I'm pretty sure I won't be able to fulfil my commitment. Best not.
@Sterno yeah, I typically didn't take advantage of it, but for things like this where a digital copy is faster and easier, reimbursements are sometimes the only option
I need to run to the bank
in The Comms Room, 32 secs ago, by Adrian
Seriously though. Going through and downvoting somebody every last question and answer and popping here and publicly stating so is sufficiently juvenile that it approaches Bridge proportions.

Q: How could I add/remove extra sockets for Runewords?

MichelThe item must have exactly the correct number of sockets to trigger a Runeword. Is there a way to add multiple sockets or even remove multiple sockets?

@FAE My issue is that I want to play games on release day, not whenever the heck Amazon gets around to shipping it to me. Plus, I hate non-digital games at this point
Have they done steam purchases in the past, or just reimbursements?
FAE
FAE
@Sterno They've done gifting in the past, but it went a bit messily. They had trouble getting their CC cleared and such.
Hard to complain about free stuff, though. And I can see how reimbursements would be a headache.
FAE
FAE
15:58
@Sterno That's very true, but it's still a bit disappointing. :/ Looks like I won't be able to participate in the grant anymore because of this.
@FAE Supposedly Steam issues are all fixed.
(And were some time ago, but we haven't had a Steam-able game grant in some time.)
