Q: (Minecraft) How can I disguise my own name (for my screen) in chat on a recording?

I'm starting a channel for gaming, and I like my current Minecraft username, however if I change it to match my new one bad things will occur (and I don't want to buy a new username because then I have no stats). Is there either: A setting I can change that will modify how I see my own name in c...

@GnomeSlice That looks really cool.

@PrivatePansy Only 760? Not the entire box?

SaintWacko

00:33

@GnomeSlice Dang, that does look neat

Wipqozn

@PrivatePansy But if you read the nutritional information first you wouldn't have eaten as many cookies. So I think you made the right choice.

SaintWacko

Also, if anyone here has been considering buying Sea of Thieves, do it

Wipqozn

@SaintWacko I've heard it's improved a lot since launch

SaintWacko

@Wipqozn I just bought it about a week ago

I've averaged 10 hours a day since >.>

And I bought a copy for my son so we could play together

The gameplay is engaging and realistic, the world is just absolutely gorgeous, and it runs great

Unionhawk

I led a brig on an adventure all the way from ancient spires outpost to the western edge of the map in my sloop

for context: 1) a brig is the fastest ship in the game B) ancient spires outpost is on the far eastern side of the map

and also 3) I found them again and one of their crew was aboard bailing water while there was still a hole

@GnomeSlice been seeing a bunch of games with "prologues" lately

MBraedley

@Lazers2.0 Generalizing and focusing are actually the opposite thing...

Memor-X

i wonder when we'll see the emergence of "Prologue Collections" like PrologueOne that gets bundled with tech demos for Unreal and Unity

GnomeSlice

Their previous game, X Morph Defense is pretty good as well although it's just a tower defense

I completed the demo in like 20 mins for that but it was very good

Memor-X

@GnomeSlice yeh i got that one. i do like how the idea isn't just putting towers down to cover the lanes but to shape the lanes yourself. reminds me of some TD Maps in Warcraft 3

also funny to think that you're really just playing out Transformers: Age of Extinction as a Decepticon

SaintWacko

Honestly all of their games look pretty fun lol

FINE I'M BUYING THEIR DEVELOPER PACK

I blame ~~@Wipqozn~~ @GnomeSlice

Damnit, how do I do a strikethrough

GnomeSlice

00:55

Zombie driver is okay if I remember correctly

It's getting old and they've improved a lot since then

They're good guys though. They develop their own engine as well for their games

SaintWacko

Is it worth $3 to get that as opposed to just all the X Morph Defense stuff?

GnomeSlice

Dunno I don't think I played much of it.

Helps to support them

@GnomeSlice Playing that demo but I'm having trouble finding Ironium.

I got this in my review queue for late answers, and am a bit unsure about it: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/374484/148546 It doesn't appear to answer the question when you just read it at face value.

Holy fuck

I closed one of the credit cards I wasn't using and my credit score went up by 100 points

Memor-X

@Ave why would that increase your credit score?

Ave

@Memor-X I'm not sure, but it was common advice here to close cards you don't use to increase your credit score.

If I had to guess, couple reasons: Unused credit lines (or limit) might mean more liability (of me maxing them out and disappearing) and can indicate that the person gets credit lines not to use, but to have lying around (which wouldn't be as profitable for banks I assume). All of these are guesswork tho.

Mad Scientist

@Ave that's how it is said to work here in Germany as well. I think the US credit score works in a fundamentally different way, which is why these discussions can be confusing.

Ave

It's all a bs black box tbh

Mad Scientist

09:06

you can get some information here for free, which does tell you a bit. But it's certainly more black box than it should be

not sure how much 100 points are though, our System gives out a percentage in the end, not points

at least it's not as stupid as the US system where you are supposed to take up debt to show that you pay it back

Im not retarded i did /gamerule keepInventory true and when i do /gamerule keepinventory it returns true. However sometimes when me or my friends die we lose our stuff and sometimes we dont. No one else is op appart from me. Its lead to us losing our stuff a ton.

Ave

12:39

@MadScientist ours is like that afaik, you're recommended to use up 50% of your limit constantly

then pay on time in full

Mad Scientist

I find that really, really stupid

I would have a terrible credit rating under that system (though of course I would have behaved differently in that case)

Wipqozn

@MadScientist ...what

I mean the US is peak debt culture

I have an excellent credit rating since I always pay my card off on time

Ave

I only got above the Turkish average today. I pay my cards in full on time all the time.

Mad Scientist

I've actually never taken on any debt, my credit card is the kind that is directly connected to my bank account, so it doesn't generate any debt

Wipqozn

@MadScientist I took on debt when I bought acar, but I paid that off a few years ago

Mad Scientist

I live in the city, never owned a car. I'm probably close to forgetting how to drive one by now ;-)

Wipqozn

@MadScientist I could never live without a car in Halifax. our public transport really sucks lol

user15026

@MadScientist I haven't had a car in almost a decade at this point so I am right there with you I think

Wipqozn

Although they've been actively improving it. IT's all just bus centric though, and buses kind of suck. They're cheap and and flexible.. but are slow. compared to other methods.

Frank

I didn't have a credit rating when I first bought my house. Everything was properly bought.

Made it hard to actually get one.

Ave

13:04

Public transport here is decent, though a bit slow as the city is quite large (and is well connected via roads) and as they have lots of stops. I've been surviving with that plus taxis fine though.

I don't even have a driver's license. Considering getting a motorcycle one.

@Yuuki it marks it for you at some point, I think it's only in the top right area

There's a specific spot you're supposed to make a base. Also if you ignore the quests you can start researching a bunch of new buildings that aren't included in the mission and try everything out

Which is neat

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn I mean just using a credit card counts as debt, you obviously should still always pay off the statement balance each month. But keeping up with that is hard for a lot of people so it's still just a trap

We exclusively use credit cards except for things that charge fees because we get cash back rewards, but it's not a very safe approach

Yuuki

I'm not sure why I feel losing HP in random battles was more acceptable in Paper Mario 1 & 2 then it is Origami King.

Maybe because Origami King has more puzzle aspects in their combat system.

Private Pansy

15:54

The combat can be quite punishing if you made a mistake in the puzzle phase

Yuuki

16:07

I'm not even talking about mistakes though. Maybe because it's a puzzle, I feel like I shouldn't be taking damage if I solve it correctly.

Like even when I get it right, I have to use the shiny weapons if I want to actually down my targets on the first go-around or else I'll take damage.

But that's a normal RPG thing. In Paper Mario 1 & 2, you almost definitely still took damage from the regular minions even if you got all the quicktime events perfect.

And yet, it feels more "unacceptable" in Origami King.

Also, it's definitely not the most unlikely, but of the things Nintendo would reference, West Side Story is on the list of "yeah, I never thought they'd do that".

@TimStone I use my credit card for everything because I get cash back as well, but I personally don't consider it unsafe, so long as you're able to pay it off every month.

And if you can't pay it off every month then well... I mean, if you can't then you probably need to use a credit card so you can actually "afford" to eat every month.

Private Pansy

17:16

Oh yeah, you also need to memorize the HP and damage of each enemy and weapon which is quite annoying. I guess since coins are so plentiful just keep using the upgraded weapons once you obtain them
