Q: What is the limit on the number of students you can recruit into your house?

user1821961On hearsay I've heard it's maximum of 3 on first playthrough and 6 on NG+ but that's not really a credible source. I'm curious if it is unlimited as others say.

@fredley Steam says I'm up to 5.4k hours in Dota...I don't wanna know how many days that is
:(
@John if you was playing 24/7. 225 days. obviously that gets bigger when you reduce your average hours per day
probably looking at over a year, maybe 2
using my average of 4 hours a day that would be ‭1,350‬ days
i like how 5400 keeps dividing nicely

Q: What is a good place to get updates on news of new Nintendo Switch consoles and special editions?

NeonKrakenI was thinking about getting a switch this summer but I am reluctant because of all the Switch Pro rumors going around. I wouldn't want to buy one and then have a new console come out a month later. Nintendo hasn't released a lot of special editions for the switch, either, which is something I am...

Q: Will I miss out on anything major by skipping over the various Monokuma skits?

user1821961I'm enjoying the game and am excited to be playing through it, however I have found the various monokuma/monami skits and monologues to not add much value and be unenjoyable so I've taken to skipping over them for the most part. Are these actually important at all?

@InvaderSkoodge So I like the mount I got so far, but my one gripe is the bendy arm. I think I would prefer stiffer arms with a hinge.
@Dragonrage TSM is making some interesting choices with their lineup period.
@Nzall funny enough there is a boycott Borderland 3 hashtag on twitter in response to what's happened with Take Two and those Borderlands 3 leaks and i was reminded about what you said, a Boycott is never going to work against Borderlands 3 now because of the exclusivity deal with Epic
Take Two, Gear Box, Randy Pitchford. they can say or do almost anything and nothing is going to change about the "success" for Borderlands 3

Q: How to create a delay in Minecraft without repeaters?

lin zhI am trying to make a delay of 1 minute in a redstone circuit. That would require 600 ticks. That s a lot of repeaters going to be used. Is there other ways of getting a 1 minute (or even longer) delays in a redstone circuit?

@Yuuki I thought you were talking like WoW in game mount or something and was quite confused for a moment

Q: Finished Far Cry Primal, but the play through is only at 54.02%

GertDeWildeI just finished Far Cry Primal. I played about 30 hours, and did all the (people) missions. I also build and crafted everything. I conquered all the towers and area's, and tamed all the beasts. The only thing I didn't do is collected all the 'hands' and jewelry. And also not all of the red side ...

Q: Can I confederate with factions in an existing campaign after buying the required DLC?

JutschgeIn my current campaign as Skaven (Clan Mors) I control most of the map. All other Skaven clans were either wiped out or merged into my rat-empire through confederation.

Q: Houses become "unvalid" if i do this?

I had a shitty Temple +8 couple days ago and have to vent. First boss, fury warrior ran into trash while moving the AoE out, wipe. Then dies on the next pull, wipe. Then 3rd pull, runs into Trash AGAIN. Warrior tank left after that
@Nzall Never M+ with randoms
The only time I was doing that was when I was boosting and then I had at least 2 other people who knew what they were doing. But man the stuff you see from some players
@Jutschge Yeah, i think I should have learned that by now. Everyone praises how M+ is fun and a good way to gear up. If you're stuck in the pug world, it's nothing but pain and misery
And I don't even play a shadowpriest
Do you have a guild/some friends to play with?
M+ is extremely fun imo but as you've said... pugging it is a nightmare
@Jutschge No guild, few friends. As you said, M+ is really fun if it goes well, but if you're pugging and got even 1 shitty player, it's like getting kicked over and over
Hmm to be honest I've had the most fun while failing keys horribly :P (with friends of course)
But I can really recommend joining a guild. There's usually something for everyone.

Q: Can the drunk's win condition be met even while he's still drunk?

leucosticteLet's say you're a Drunk Warlock, and the coven wins while you're still drunk. Is your personal win condition met? I assume logically what would happen is, the Drunk would sober up after the win and be like, "Oh cool, my side won, even though I was drunk through their whole struggle"

Do we answer tinker's construct questions? Specifically about the armory mod?
@goodguy5 Does the game work?
yes?
Sounds like you're not sure.
I'm not sure the cause of your question
If the game doesn't work, we can't help it get working. If it's an in-game problem, that's fine.
14:21
oh yea. of course.
I made a suit of armor, and put necrotic on it. and it made my armor bad. And I want to know what my options are to remove/mitigate the badness.
@Frank I mean we do occasionally help with tech stuff.
@Jutschge Server configurations I think are more tweaks than, "not working".
@goodguy5 That is something we can definitely help with
cool

Q: Minecraft Constructs Armory Mod - Recover from Parasitc modifier

Q: How rare is this mob spawn? (Cpnsults w/ my prev. Question)

The league of unknown gamersSo, erm, since the villagers disappeared, I want to find a zombie villager, but can someone tell me how rare they are, and what difficulty are they most common in?

@Dragonrage and now it just needs one more delete vote
15:25
why is this still open? :(
I guess it's not asking to identify that one game
its asking for a list of games that have x feature -> too broad
@Dragonrage That's totally stackable
You're being too harsh
@goodguy5 i not sure what you mean by that
It's a game identification question.
15:33
@goodguy5 i disagree.
We identify games here
@goodguy5 only in very limited scenarios. all others should be closed and deleted
What if I asked "What is that game(s) where you play as a vampire named kain?"

And there happen to be 3 in the series, would you close it?
(Legacy of Kain is the answer, btw)
That's way too harsh
imo
15:34
how is it different than asking what games can i play as a ninja?
Because it's clearly referencing a specific thing, rather than a theme.
@goodguy5 Yeah. Which requires an artifact.
hrm?
@goodguy5 what if i want to play a game where i play as a ninja named bob
@goodguy5 requires an artifact for us to allow them.
15:36
Ah.... Hrm....
I forgot about the artifacting.
@goodguy5 If you asked "What games in the Legacy of Kain series allow you to play as [character]" that would be fine.
The way I understood the question, the person wants to start playing Pokémon games, and would like to pick of the games where you can start with gen 1 starters
I think that's fine, really
It's not asking "what game am I thinking of?"
@InvaderSkoodge in that case, the pokemon question is fine
I agree, it is fine.
The current wording is...eh. Not a fan. But I'm not going to hammer it.
15:37
ITG in general is not fine, but this isn't ITG because the question is narrowly bounded to just Pokemon games.
It could be seen as a recommendation question, if anything
But even that's a stretch
I rescind my argument about game identification. I forgot the rules here in arqade.
(spending more time on board and role playing games)
We have inconsistent rules when it comes to identifying stuff from game series.
I recall there being a meta where we said it was okay.
And one that I answered that said it's not.
I think there's a distinction, but darned if I can remember what it was.

@Sterno I think the latter
Bummer. I always lose interest in those fast
@MBraedley Oh I had assumed that you meant that for the response and not the starred message
@Elva why not both?

which is a link to a recently pinned message

@Sterno this is true, it could've gone either way.
Lately I'm a fan of this one too
@Sterno does porkchat still warn for redirects?

but, i know better than to click a link @Sterno posts

Friday came out in 2011
You're all old
yeah
I love having a midlife crisis at 12:45 on a friday
@Sterno if we are old, what does that make you, Ancient?
Sticks and stones might break my bones, especially since I'm old, but words will never hurt me
I love to have a very productive day with just this on single track repeat all day because everything is bad
16:54
I am okay with adjusting my language to make other people happy, but I also really do think some people are way oversensitive.
Context? Did you mean my posting the xkcd? Wasn't intended to do that
Nah, just in general.
Okay :)
An example would be correct pronoun usage. I will attempt to use the correct pronouns if you tell me what to use. But I have had people get mad when I had no way to know in the first place.
Usually the response is "You should just use they/them all the time". And yes, I can attempt to retrain myself to always do that. Meanwhile, the people (to be fair, in my case just one person) could also try to chill a bit.
Oh gods yeah. In a chat one person that I had never spoken with before who has an ambiguous name (well, I'd only ever heard that name as a male name but apparently it's both) became super pissed at me for saying he in chat once

<-- Him/His/Her pronouns
user15026
tosses pronouns in chat bio
It's a good thing
user15026
17:10
@Sterno Honestly, I hate that judgement - they might seem oversensitive to you because they react on the first mistake you make, but maybe you are the 50th person to do that to them that day, so they're out of kindness spoons.
That doesn't make it fair to take my head off
user15026
Being a human who has to educate people on various facets of your existence as a matter of daily living can be....exhausting, and sometimes it's not easy to keep being kind.
user15026
@Sterno Not saying they were right or not right, but I think automatically assuming it's because they're "oversensitive" isn't fair either.
They ARE oversensitive in that moment. They just have a reason for it.
17:12
>.> btw seeing Elva in here makes me pretty happy <.<
user15026
....*sigh* okay whatever
@Elva lmao. complete typo
Ah
user15026
@Elva yay for happy and congruency :)
Well having multiple sets of applicable pronouns is also an option so, figured I'd check
17:13
@Ash Just did the same for rpg.se and here.
@Ash congruency... that is a nice word :o
@Elva Yea. the 'r' is right next to the 'e' on qwerty keyboards and I just fat fingered it.
user15026
@Elva It's one of my favourites for this kind of jam
Baha'i, queer fat human, gamer, devourer of books. They/them.
lmao
user15026
@goodguy5 confused headtilt
user15026
17:16
I mean yes, that's my bio, but confused over what part is funny
"queer fat human" caught me off guard
user15026
@goodguy5 shrugs Is what I be.
Though, what's the current working definition of "queer"? Can one who is "they/them" be "queer"?
user15026
.....why not?
the short answer is yes, and the long answer is yes
user15026
17:17
I manage it quite well.
It used to be used interchangeably with "gay".
user15026
I can be both enby and queer, my gender doesn't define anything about my sexuality.
user15026
They're separate entities.
Also queer is kinda an umbrella term?
@Unionhawk The real long answer is "I'm cis-het, and am in no position to define the terms used by others who may not be cis-het."
17:18
Would also fit anyone who isn't cis anyway
user15026
Can we not police other people's identities, maybe?
That's not what I was trying to do. sorry for the misunderstanding.
Just musing about hetero/homo sexuality and how it relates to NB folks.
I wonder how many nonbinary people are hetero in that they're only attracted to other nonbinary people
^
Though, wouldn't that be "homo"?
user15026
17:20
@goodguy5 however we choose to define it honestly.
UUuuuh. yup!
Silly me
I think it's kind of one of those things that doesn't quite definitionally scan outside binary-normitivity so at a certain point it becomes just what people define for themselves :)
True
@goodguy5 Can we not talk about how others define these terms?
user15026
I don't think trying to find a one size fits all solution for any of this is going to be productive
17:21
Well, some of the terms HAVE definitions....
user15026
sigh
words are made up
@Frank also in that case it was me using the wrong word completely
Well, yea. most things are made up
@goodguy5 Yes, they do. Great. It matters not. Move on.
17:22
We're all figments of @PrivatePansy's imagination
I don't appreciate your tone
People are getting uncomfortable with the topic.
I believe the implication there is that he is speaking in moderator text atm
I'm asking (nicely) for you to drop it.
it's just we don't have any sort of mod text feature
17:23
Well that should be more clear
I have a hard enough time understanding intonation when I can audibly hear it in real life, text has like... negative quality.
So, about them mets
@goodguy5 When a mod asks you to stop talking about a certain subject, they're asking you as a mod.
That's a little gestapo-y, but okay
Also, Bridge, I'm going to an escape room tonight.
I've already done it, but it's been two years, and we're going with another couple.
Is that like a lifeboat?
@Frank fun!
17:26
Nice! What theme? (if any)
I've not been to one in yeaaaaars
@Elva They're still going strong.
Here, at least.
This one is sub-based; you have to find all the enemy boats and torpedo them.
So it's less, "escape", and more a large-scale version of battleship.
Ooh interesting
@Unionhawk I'm giving you the stink-eye for that.
17:31
@Ash I guess we can choose a word other than "oversensitive". I don't know. I'm open to suggestions. I find myself doing it with my kids sometimes too. They'll be asking me for stuff all day, you start getting stressed out from the nonstop requests, and eventually one of them is like "Daddy?" and I kind of snap "WHAT?!" and they'll be like "I need to go potty." And then I feel like a dick.
But usually I can remind myself I'm an adult and behave appropriately. Usually.
user15026
@Frank ooooh fun
user15026
@Sterno That's good at least :)
user15026
I'm not sure what a better word would be, at the moment
user15026
@Elva I think the last time I did one was with @Frank, actually :P
@Ash Yeah, that one was fun!
17:37
in all things, cowboy rules:
Not really themed, but still fun.
user15026
@Frank If you're ever in the area again we should go again :P
@Frank I still remember (most of) that escape room. At least the parts I solved, anyway. Still unclear on the START of the sub and restoring power / opening the bridge.
@Ash The last one I did was with @Frank (and @Wipqozn) as well. I think.
17:39
The local library here has an escape room for kids (like, 4-8 years old)
It was cool (though pretty fast)
user15026
@MBraedley I am sensing a theme here :P
user15026
@Sterno oh, that's cool!
I've done other rooms with friends, too.
They change it every few months too
user15026
We did one with work a couple times as a team building thing
17:41
There's been a fairy tale theme, a Hogwarts theme, and a Big Bad Wolf theme
Actually, I need to qualify that the last time I did a full room was with @Frank and @Wipqozn. Hal-Con has had mini-rooms (8'x8', 15 minutes) the past 2 years that friends and I have done.
user15026
@Sterno I like this.
@Ash We like escape rooms.
Makes for fun times with friends.
user15026
I like them, I just don't have people to go with (although maybe some of my Baha'i friends might, I keep forgetting I can ask them to do non-Baha'i things with me. Still adjusting to having a faith community again :P)
17:56
@Ash Always the problem.
For us, it always falls on us to organize it.
@Wipqozn I can't remember if you were looking at it, but Mutant Year Zero looks like it'll be the next free game on the Epic Store (Aug 15-22)
So for the big ones, it takes some juggling, begging, and sometimes straight up voluntelling some of my buddies to show up.
@Sterno interesting. I've had my eye on that....
I just bought Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, because it basically looks like Privateer
Which is a game older than probably half the people in chat
18:04
26
🔨nailed it
I enjoyed the original Rebel Galaxy a bunch, although after a while I found it got kind of tedious and thus never finished.
I definitely enjoyed RG more than Privateer, but I'm an outlier in that I thought Privateer was awful
Unless you played it when it was new, Privateer probably was awful
18:15
I played it in 2003 or so, so at that point it was pretty old, but OTOH I also replayed WC1 and played WC2 for the first time that year and had a blast with both
@Sterno re: a better word: "sensitized"?
@Dragonrage They're playing Treatz and Tactical in the playoffs, aren't they?
@Yuuki they are listed as subs
@MBraedley Yeah that was fun. We rekt that room.
@Sterno Oh I did have my eye on that sort of, thanks! And free is free.
@Dragonrage Hmm... I thought I read something that they're being played in the quarters or something.
@Wipqozn I believe we were rekt by that room.
18:27
@MBraedley I'm pretty sure we won. Didn't we?
I've done a lot of rooms, and I only remember losing one of them.
I think we were on the last puzzle when we ran out of time.
We were really close
@Dragonrage @shog9 You should ensure this twitter one-boxing is never fixed, since it has great trolling potential. Thanks.
cc @GodEmperorDune
Also you fools, you don't need to ping @shog9 to get his attention. He's always lurking and watching from the shadows.
@Sterno RIP @RavenDreamer is
I've considered buying it as well. Raven loves it.
isn't that game 1.0 now?
@Unionhawk Yes
@Yuuki i havent heard anywhere that they are confirmed to play in playoffs. just that they are the only 2 subs tsm is using
@Wipqozn dont you have to use a double @ to super ping?
18:35
@Dragonrage Yes, but also I'm pretty sure CM get all pings anyways.
I could be wrong, but I think I remember once reading they're special ping logic. Plus also, like I said, shog9 is always watching.
I think you have to ping them three times in a mirror
Oh that makes sense
@Elva Not gonna lie, the first thing that popped into my head with this and also @Elise is "Oh excellent, this will increase the gender diversity in my XCOM squads!"
I should pop up XCOM 2 tonight if I have time just to update the character pool. It's quite outdated by now.
I'm pretty sure @Ash isn't even called "Hopkins". Maybe though...
@Wipqozn snorts That's okay :p
@Stormblessed ive never done stuff like that, but i have created fully automated defense systems for a mountain fortress before
which was automatically filled with arrows from my skeleton farm
18:50
@Stormblessed TBF, I'm pretty sure there are MCEdit filters that will take a MIDI file and create all the blocks.
user15026
@Wipqozn you should fix that :P
user15026
@Wipqozn giggles so selfish :P
Yeah, well, I once made a gate that goes up and down
Praise my genius skills please
@MageXy sticky pistons?
@Ash I just can't remember if I've played since the marriage
18:56
Not even, I think I used regular pistons and sand
user15026
@Wipqozn hahahaha that's more than 2 years :P
@Ash oh in that case you're good on both fronts

Q: The "Featured" tab is now "Bountied"

CatijaIt's long confused me why we put bounties on a tab labeled "Featured" that has no connection to the "Featured" questions in the right sidebar.

@MBraedley the transcript doesn’t update names, either. I guess it is like that so that “@someuserwhohassincechangedtheirname” and message replies are clearly to the same person
user15026
nods Transcript is basically locked to whatever happened as it happened, it doesn't do anything retroactive.

@Dragonrage Given that they have two other junglers, both of whom they've played with more than Spica, it's a bit concerning that Treatz and Tactical are the subs.
Playoffs is only going to be Spica's... third? LCS game?
B03/5 is a different beast from BO1 and it's concerning that they're putting in a rookie with no back-up plan.
Dammit, TFS, manage your websockets better!

Q: What is the required number of points?

Micah NelsonHow many points do you need to obtain in level 1c of the new Dr. Mario World by Nintendo to earn three stars for that level?

@Dragonrage I play it here and there for the nightwave rewards. They're some pretty good rewards. Unfortunately I've started running into an issue where I get sudden inexplicable hangs pretty much constantly, for no apparent reason, that give no errors and seemingly leave no logs.
Makes the game pretty much unplayable
@Memor-X I just said I didn't want to know
