Q: Post-Civil War Not Able to Decorate Hjerim

GwendolynSo I have completely finished the civil war quest line for the imperials. I finished the blood on the ice quest line after the civil war quest line, once everything was cleaned up and Lonely-Gale was the steward. I bought the house from him, visited the house, and came back but there is no dialog...

 
So Shadow Empires released today. 4X scifi war game by Matrix Games. It's game manual (yes, it has a manual) is 350 pages long.
Not on steam yet, but I'm probably going to pick it up. I can get 20% off on the companies store, so maybe I'll finally start using GOG Galaxy for it's intended purpose.

Q: In Minecraft Bedrock, will Nether Wart respawn in fortresses?

SopiBasically, I picked all the nether wart from a nether fortress I could find, only to die on the way back home. Does anyone know if the nether wart will regrow near the staircase or if there’s another method to get the nether warts?

Steam: Because you played Batman: Arkham Knight, you may also be interested in Anime Standing, a rip off of Death Stranding with janky models and obvious hentai from this image of a bikini anime girls with an "accidental" nipple slip
meanwhile, Dragon Age II is out on Steam, but uses all the EA DRM
also Dragon Age Inquisition which i hear is way better than II
but same DRM Issues. might just grab it for console then and deal with whatever method they set up for importing your program from Origins

Q: How does a Joy-Con know what color it is?

Weckar E.When signing in to a Nintendo Switch using Joy Cons, the screen will always show the color for them. But, how does it know? In terms of parts, all Joy-Cons seem just about interchangeable? More importantly, can a user potentially change what color a Joy Con thinks it is?

Q: The 1.16 Nether Update Is Trash!

Hmm
It doesn't really feel on-topic
You can definitely ask a meta about whether it'd be on-topic, though
It'd give everyone a chance to leave their thoughts

11:28 AM
@fredley Level 10
get on my level
or something better than my level
I have 1/70th of the spirit I need despite maximum boosts and levelling all spirit and power nodes to 1 and fire nodes to 2
 
@badp This means nothing to me
 
are we talking about the same game
in case we are, my spirit is about 1T and the node I'm trying to take over has power 70T, so I'm only dealing fire damage, and fire nodes don't take fire damage
and my growth rates are just 35M each
1T spirit times 3 from ReLoad times 3 from [spoiler] is still way not enough spirit :/
 
I'm not at fire nodes yet, you're only levelling nodes to 1? I'm levelling most nodes to 2-3 at the moment.

Q: Does Starcraft 1’s Norad II have anything to do with the real NORAD?

FivesideddiceSo in Starcraft 1 there’s a ship (and a corresponding mission) called the Norad II, commanded by Edmond Duke. Does it bear any relation to the real NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command? Did the devs (and/or lore-writers) draw any inspiration from it?

 
what? you get your first fire node at the end of world 6 or 7 don't you?
there's a bunch of boss nodes and then you unlock fire
you definitely get fire before levelling
 
11:42 AM
Sea of Thieves looks fun
Looks a lot better than last time I looked at it...
 
bring friends
 
That would be an issue
 
there aren't really ship or gear upgrades
other than the supplies you build up during your session
which you lose whenever you disconnect

Q: Is there a mod or something to remove the scale between Nether and Overworld in Minecraft?

Fanbneylif you travel 1 Block in the Nether, you travel 8 Blocks in the overworld. Is there a way, to remove this 8:1 ratio? Thank you in advance.

 
@badp Boss maps are time gates.
They're supposed to take longer.
 
boss circles? yeah
I mean my progress is blocked by a 15T power fire node
my spirit is 1T
 
Are you building things on your nodes?
 
every non-grey node node is now level 2 with G and S
 
You're missing a building.
 
12:10 PM
I can put the flag on that 2 green node
that puts my peak spirit at less than half what I need
@Frank a further upgrade of that node is 10% of my gold
 
The higher the level of the node, the better all the buildings do.
Including the flag.
I generally upgraded all nodes to level 3 before ascending. I don't recall where I was at for that map, but flag + level 3 = x4 spirit boost.
 
that's a lot of gold, chief
I do have 286M in the bank right now
 
That's a lot of time. You will have to spend one or the other.
And you'll get more gold by capturing the point.
 
I'll have to spend time at some point regardless
okay okay
 
Although, it's an incremental. They're supposed to take time. :P
My current map has nodes that take several hours.
 
12:17 PM
the top star took 30 mins
but that has 102T power
 
Also, are you channelling? And boosting?
 
 
Oh, right. Chanelling's not a thing yet.
 
so at some point you no longer need to manually tell your sliders to work on and off the thing?
 
At some point sliders will autotarget things when they stop doing damage.

Q: Do resources respawn?

PingQueenHow are the resources distributed in Subnautica? Do they respawn? If yes at what rate? I want to build several big bases all over the map but not sure if there would be enough resources to actually do this.

 
that autopilot configuration will basically do the same thing for me rn
neither of Target: Weakest or Target: Least Defended does what I really want but it doesn't really matter
they'll burn off every non-fire node one after the other
 
Gah. The standard notation was throwing me off.
 
and the fire nodes are the only ones that are taking no damage
 
You get upgrades as time goes on that help your autotargeting.
I think I just got another one last map.
 
Is the briddge addicted to a new incremental?
 
12:29 PM
yesterday, by Frank
http://structure.zefiris.su/
 
I'll take that as a yes!
 
Note for anyone who is interested: it slows down dramatically. Progress gets quite a bit slower.
 
it's also quite hands-on
 
But there are always other mechanics so that you still feel like you're progressing.
It becomes less hands on as you get skills to automate the tedium.
 
I still have to manually do this
 
12:34 PM
That stops being a thing after a while.
I can't recall the last time I used a charge.
 
your fire nodes don't need this any longer?
 
Nope
You can see a very spoiler-y picture of my sliders earlier on.
 
I doubt that's coincidence =p
 
@Frank that's quite a lot of mechanics
 
@badp There's been a few more since I took it.
Like I said; there's enough to keep you engaged as you progress through the maps.

Q: How do I track the total number of kills for a person - like number of goblins killed

Stephen D CooperWould like to track total number of kills of goblins for a person and hang onto the number. Looks like I store the number in the scoreboard for later use - next time the person plays. And each time a wave of spawned AI is killed it can send a one out. But now to add them all up.... And then...

 
1:29 PM
woo build day aka can't really do anything day lol
 
2:04 PM
Leveled up a gray node to see what it did.
It did nothing.
Science achieved.
 
tada.wav
 
@InvaderSkoodge Yeah, don't do that.
 
The first level is really cheap so whatever.
 
The only advantage is for the flag building, if it's a step along the way.
 
I have no idea what that is yet, excited to find out in like 3 weeks.
I unlocked a skill that says something like "fire damage bypasses shields" but I don't think that's relevant to me yet.
Oh wait no I just realized what that means.
It means even if I'm idling my attack will never go all the way to 0.
I didn't realize that's what "fire"did.
 
2:08 PM
Except when attacking fire nodes.
Because fire ignores fire.
 
I thought it was just some random resource I was building up for some future mechanic, like gold was.
@Frank Makes sense.
 
On the plus side, it does double damage to ice nodes.
 
I wonder if it's going to come back to bite me that I have slider 2 not gaining any stats at all just to feed permanent boosts into slider 1.
 
Nah; it more or less evens out later.
Plus level 11 has something to help with that.
 
Ok, cool.
I mean from an efficiency standpoint it's not even close.
 
2:13 PM
Triple growth versus two regular growth sliders? Yeah. No brainer.
 
Right, was trying to figure out how to word it.

Q: Open world games options for children

LCarvalhoI recently bought an Xbox One. My son and I like open world games. But the games I find are more aimed at the adult audience. Are there open world games options for children?

 
Level 9
 
I unlocked science 20 minutes ago and I have 1.5 science and the cheapest thing costs 100k science.
 
@InvaderSkoodge What level?
 
4:08 PM
Level 9.
I just got here like a half hour ago.
I've only opened 2 nodes and now I'm just waiting to get enough spirit that unlocking nodes takes less than like 10 minutes.
Mining gold in the meanwhile.
 
Oh I've got 2 nodes already
maybe I ascended late
2m until I unlock Megatropolis, which I assume is science?
 
Level 10 will take some time to complete. So spending a bit of extra time on 9 to level it up and accumulate growth isn't a bad thing.
 
@fredley Yeah.
But you have to actually build the science thing on a node after you get the upgrade.
 
Pretty soon the order you buy skills in will matter; the cost multiplier gets a little crazy.
 
That's kind of annoying since you don't know exactly what most skills will do.
 
4:15 PM
The only thing they tell you is on them when you can buy them.
 
Yeah
I dunno that doesn't bother me so much
 
That said, prioritizing skills that have an element in the title is a good bet.
I cut off growth completely to save up for skills at the beginning of a new map.
 
I've also been doing that.
 
One thing to note: skills unlocked via science are QoL upgrades; they don't actually do new things, just make it easier to do the things you're already doing.
 
What's it mean when the growth number is displayed as A X B = C
 
4:17 PM
@Frank Neat.
 
@Batophobia Growth multiplier
Somebody's skipping ahead.
 
@Frank Yeah me too
@Frank Yeah it does explain that
Lol +1e-3 pls
 
Definitely check out the help; it's dynamic, and updates itself as new mechanics open up.
Turning off low load mode also helps with idle monitoring.
 
Gold factories are handy
 
Do gold factories carry over after ascending like node levelups?
 
4:27 PM
Yes
 
As do science labs.
 
It's a very cheap investment then (so far)
 
Note that levelling up the node also improves the building output.
 
Yeah I don't see myself not getting that on every single node.
The science is a bit pricier though.
 
4:28 PM
You will need gobs of science later on.
It has more uses than just unlocking QoL skills.
 
THE HELP, IT LIES
 
The help tells you about what it can do right now. :P
Don't worry, you're over a dozen maps away before it does something else.
 
Worth upgrading empty nodes just to get gold?
I'm thinking probably yes
 
Only level 1.
 
yeh
 
4:34 PM
And only because that allows you to put the factory on it.
I had to remember; empty nodes aren't a thing anymore.
 
How much of a boost is ironhearted?
 
X(node level + 1)
 
hm
 
Only useful for those really stubborn nodes. It costs a lot, otherwise.
 
Why doesn't growth boost stay on? Is it only for mining?
Oh it consumes exp
I C
 
4:38 PM
Hence why the second has to have no growth.
 
I see. So it's worth losing the second all into sci to get perma growth (3x) on one?
 
300%x1 or 100%x2
 
If I miss the vocabulary, I'm sorry, I'm Brazilian.

I recently bought an Xbox One. My son and I like open world games.

But the games I find are more aimed at the adult audience.

Are there open world games options for children?
 
@LCarvalho Minecraft?
 
how young are we talking?
 
4:43 PM
7 years of age
 
Minecraft.
 
We have Minecraft. And we really like it. I would like more options.
 
Specifically multiplayer or is single player ok?
 
Ok, that's fair
 
Not necessarily open world, but the Lego games are probably a good choice

@MBraedley 23.5 ft, minivan
 
Forgive me if my questions are too simple for a chat. but I haven't played a video game in years and I bought a console for my son due to this pandemic.
 
4:48 PM
@SaintWacko V6 or V8?
 
@LCarvalho Nah, no worries. We're happy to help.
 
@LCarvalho At worst it's a distraction, and we welcome those :)
 
Subnautica might be good too
 
Granted, not all of us are parents, so we don't all have the necessary lived experience to give good suggestions.
@SaintWacko (It's probably a V6, which should still be fine.)
 
My oldest is 5 and she's just barely starting to grasp simple platformers and endless runners on her tablet.
Playing a game on the TV with a controller is a layer removed from that so she has more trouble.
She loves button mashing in Soul Calibur, though.

@Frank Congrats BTW, I must have missed the announcement post
 
@MBraedley Wasn't much of one really. But thank you.
 
I don't know if Subnautica is appropriate for children. Isn't it a horror game?
I haven't played it, so I'm not sure, but it sounds suspect.
 
Only if you're scared of oceans
 
4:58 PM
@LCarvalho I know you mocked it, but the LEGO games are actually pretty good. If your kid like a certain franchise like Batman or Star Wars or something, you should consider it
 
And that thing where the ocean floor suddenly drops away from you
 
@InvaderSkoodge It's rated E10+
 
Now that's a surprise !!! I am 42 years old. I'm from the old Mario Bros. game.
Batman or Star Wars. Wroted
