All of that is amazing.
 
12:55 AM
@Ash It really is
 
1:39 AM
Hey, new stars today!
We've been on the same stars for a while!
 
2:07 AM
@SaintWacko yeah, stars don't move as fast as they used. I remember when stars were lucky to last 12 hours, let alone a few days.
 
@Batophobia ehh... i get that you have two factions in the new star wars game but we're already getting "but not all of the space nazis were bad people" comments on the newest trailer
 
Luckily crusader king's is good star bait
 
which is... eh...
 
@Yuuki honesty the number of people who didn't get the empires == Nazis is far too high
I mean they're called even stormtroopers lol
I'm too mobile to fix that
 
I'm always concerned when a Star Wars game has two campaigns for the Alliance and the Empire.
Because it's a 50/50 on whether the Empire story is "but here's a nice space Nazi".
 
2:24 AM
while the other 50% is "you're a space nazi but there's an even worse space nazi you got to stop before going back to doing mass murder of innocents"
can't think of many, if any Star Wars games where you're supposed to be the bad guys and just not ambiguously bad

Q: How is score calculated in competitions?

UnionhawkI've been trying to get at least third place in the THPS1 Skate Park competition level, but I keep getting fourth place. What I am noticing is that the score I receive from the judges seems to be mostly unrelated to the score that I receive in-game (or at least, the two scores are not directly co...

 
3:53 AM
@Lazers2.0 @Unionhawk if you're bailing out that'll ruin your score.
 
4:04 AM
@Memor-X Well, the whole point is that "ambiguously bad" is an off-putting proposition if "the guys" are also purposefully evoking the iconography of the perpetrators of a genocide.
(and, you know, also committed a genocide)

My friend told me Spelunky 2 comes out today. I was super excited.

Then I found out PC needs to wait an extra two weeks. Now I hate everyone.
 
11:54 AM
@Sterno Yeah, it's lame. Like it's such a short delay it just feels petty haha.

Q: Is there a way to type coloured words on a sign?

DREADLORD XDI made a house, and I want to put signs around of what is this particular section. However, I want to colour the words on each sign for different sections in the house, since the house is very big ( a bunker, actually). Is there a way for me to do so? Thanks!

in case anyone was interested
> For its 5th Anniversary, UNDERTALE is on sale on Nintendo Switch for $9.99 until 9/22! ... You probably own this game already if you're celebrating the anniversary though.

deal on steam. Islanders
Good game
 
Turns out puppies are cute but that's all they've got going for them

Puppy sat over the weekend, good god
It was in an unfamiliar place, so despite having all its toys/bedding etc it was still overstimulated
Whining all night because if you left it along even for a moment it would have an anxiety attack
(it's not a new puppy, nearly a year old)
Turn on the TV: barking for 20 minutes
Turn on the radio: barking for 20 minutes
Dogs are awful
 
2:03 PM
@GnomeSlice yeah Islanders is a fun little game
For $3 CAD you can't go wrong
@fredley hey now, I'll have you know I can pet @GnomeSlice for stress loss, so don't go insulting dogs!
 
Dogs, like ferrets, are ideal when they're someone else's and you can borrow them for an hour at a time and miserable when you have to take care of them around the clock.
 
@ToxicFrog Just like kids
 
Yes! Kids are easier to train though :P
 
Depends on the kid

Q: Minecraft falling block identity commands

mrprairiedogAnyone have ideas for how to summon falling blocks with command blocks in minecraft education edition?

 
2:15 PM
Fair. Mine seems to be.
 
Anyone knows if the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Promotional site has an European counterpart?
 
@ToxicFrog Feels weird to hear this because my dog is super-chill, to an almost ridiculous degree. Although based on what I hear about other people's pets, I suppose that's true.

@PrivatePansy I just want to get the achievement for maxing out happiness for all of the spirits. Astrid is giving me some trouble atm, though. And I'm worried I didn't get Alice to the maximum before I took her to the door. :(

Q: Is there a way to prevent TNT offset?

fasterthanlightI am creating a railgun using TNT and commands, and I want each firing to be as accurate as possible. I am trying to limit the offset (that little bump and jump of movement after TNT is summoned/ignited) so shots are straightforward. Here is what I have tried: I tried using /tp @e[type=tnt] x y ...

Q: What happens to my 2nd wife if I stop being polygamous?

Raven DreamerI am playing as the High King of Ireland, who, as an Insular Christian, is required to have 3 wives if I don't want a piety generation penalty. When my half-sister died, it pushed me into a mental break, and I was given a choice where one of the options was to convert to Paulicianism, another Chr...

 
I'm skeptically hopeful for this
 
4:57 PM
I think I killed myself with stress. :(
Oh, well. Time to war against my underaged brothers to recover my lands.
 
@RavenDreamer Same, but I did it intentionally.
Things are going so much better ever since I started playing as that characters 2 year old son.
 
5:11 PM
Earworm?
 
My problem was taking "Golden Obligations" with a generous character. Using the hook for payment gave me 50 stress!
So clearly the solution was to have a mental break and reset my skill points to pick something else.
I died 1 month later.
oops.

Q: What kind of resources is available on each type of map

FabichAt the beginning it seems that all the resources are available on the first map but then each map seems specialized in some type of resources while other are missing. For instance a Canyon has more rocks to mine and less woods. I don't want to halt on a map that does not have the required resour...

 
@RavenDreamer Ouch.
@RavenDreamer tbh dying sounds like the perfect solution. Now you can play as someone who's more of a jerk.
@InvaderSkoodge So I'm rereading the Fitz & Fool trilogy, and some of the foreshadowing is really wild. The main one that really made me go "whooa holy crap" was a Bee dream journal entry and welll.. .let me rip out an excerpt
> There is a wolf as big as a horse. He is black and stands still as stone and stares. My father is gray as dust, and old, so old.
 
> Star Citizen director assures fans the game "is not a pipe dream" - t.co/YEZuMqaJ3a

...ha
 
@Unionhawk I'm sure he doesn't think that it is.

Also cc @Sterno for Kickstarter drama

> Each year, we pit all flyable ships and drivable vehicles against each other to determine the community’s favorite
Which is a hell of a thing to be able to do "each year" for a game you haven't released

Q: How to speed up a windows 7 computer with the windows 10 experimental update?

Cameron JohnsonIm trying to play Plane Crazy on Roblox and sometimes I get massive lag spikes which takes around 5 minutes, then I have small lag spikes which takes around 10 seconds. I can't figure out how to make it stop.

Air quality in SF finally drops below unhealthy for the first time in about a week!

Q: What game came up with the Heart metaphor for health?

Xavier LowmillerI'd like to know what game came up with hearts for showing the player's character's health. It's very common today in many games, but how did this come to be?

 
@PrivatePansy This makes it sound like it went from marginally safe to unsafe. Falling air quality is bad.
Falling particulate counts, OTOH, is good.
 
Ah, I mean the air quality index, where lower is better

Q: F4SE isn't launching on the right monitor

Minecraft_NoobSo I've recently started playing Fallout again. I installed the latest f4se build and set it to launch through MO2. Before I launched it, I launched the normal Fallout 4 via Steam, everything was working fine and it launched on the right monitor. However, when I launched f4se via MO2 after making...

Q: How did electromechanical pinball keeped score during multiball

LucaElectromechanical pinball scoring system is based on wheels with numbers printed on them, an electromagnet that moves the wheel to the next number when activated and a mechanical device that turns the next (on the left) wheel when the current one goes to 0 in order to manage tens, hundreds and so...

 
I feel like if I got a $\cos^{16} (\theta/2)$ expression in my cross section calculation I would put down the pencil and back away slowly. — Michael Seifert yesterday
 
9:06 PM
Wait cosine what
Huh
What does that even mean, cos^n, n!=-1
 
@Unionhawk it's apparently just the cosine to the 16th power
like, cos²+sin²=1 apparently
 
so (cos(t/2))^16
 
Yeah
Surely you've seen that notation in high school?
 
I have new questions
 
No, not really
 
9:09 PM
It's been like 6 years since I've taken a math course
 
@Unionhawk In case it clarifies any: this is 1 part of a formula to calculate the gravitational attractions a photon exerts on another photon
 
It does not
 
This is the full formula:
$$\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}=\frac{32G^2E^2}{c^8\sin^4{\theta}}\left(1+\cos^{16}{\frac{\theta}{2}}+\sin^{16}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\right).$$

A: How do photons affect each other gravitationally?

G. SmithOne can quantize linearized spacetime perturbations in General Relativity and compute the effect of photons scattering elastically by exchanging virtual gravitons. This theory isn’t consistent at Planck-scale photon energies but is believed to be fine at the energies of photons we observe... even...

Q: In Halo 2 for the original Xbox did Elites and Spartans have the same hitbox?

ParseltongueI have vague memories of Elite character models having much larger heads, relative to Spartans but never thought to test whether it was actually easier to get headshots against Elite character models. Did they have different hitboxes?

 
9:31 PM
Did they really not even bother to google the name of their product before releasing a press statement on the off chance it's something sexual?
 
@MBraedley fun fact: It's not cloudy out today. That's smoke coming from BC.

Q: Can I build a portal on top of the Nether in Minecraft Windows 10?

KnoxI just got on top of the nether using an ender pearl glitch in Minecraft Windows 10. But now I can't build my portal! I'm getting an error that says "the build limit is 128 blocks." Is there anything I can do to change that? Just to make it 5 blocks higher and put a portal up there? This is for M...

Q: Can I see my Harmony before the end of the game in As Far As The Eye?

FabichIn As Far As The Eye there is a resource called Harmony which impacts the number of minor vagaries. When winning a game the value is displayed I'd like to see it in-game to know how bad the world has been destroyed. Is it possible or is Harmony truly hidden ?

 
@Dragonrage yes
 
9:51 PM
@Wipqozn copycats
 
10:35 PM
@Wrigglenite has the policy changed from, "Don't include the game's name in the title if it's present in a tag?"
...admittedly, Crusader Kings questions do seem silly without that.

Q: How do I make the ebony warrior in Skyrim

DoodlemationsI feel like it would be cool to play as THE ebony warrior (like the one that comes to you at level 80). Can someone please tell me the steps to make him? Also I have made other characters using this app and I need specification if the beginning of the line is zero or one.

 
11:45 PM
starting to feel like necromancy was in fact not a good idea
 
@Unionhawk This reads like Dwarf Fortress
 
what is happening
 
Blaseball is my guess
 
Yes
One of the blessings going into this season was to steal the 14th most idolized player. We discovered that you could idolized players who had been incinerated. So we did.
And now there is a debt to pay
 
pokes it with a stick
 
11:51 PM
Seattle Garages pitcher Jaylen Hotdogfingers, returned from the void, has a chance of throwing a HBP. The batter who gets hit gains the Unstable attribute, which apparently increases their chances of getting incinerated for 9 games
 
Do I choose the Canada Moist Talkers despite the revolting name, honour my parents with the Philadelphia Pies, or follow my heart with the Hades Tigers?
 
HDF's "debt" attribute is listed as permanent. This will continue to happen presumably until/unless they die again.
