Q: Nintendo Wii memory

Michael SobczakI have an older Nintendo Wii that I would like to sell. Before I can list it, I'd like to include how much memory the console has. I searched Nintendo support and they said I could see this under Data Management. However, when I go into that area, where the installed games are shown, I see "69...

Right now I get 143 FPS if I'm not moving the mouse. If I'm moving the mouse, I get about 3 FPS

YellowJacketI know this bit here is right "item": "minecraft:lime_dye", but I can't get this part is wrong somehow: "nbt":"{Tags:{Damage: 1, HideFlags: 1, Enchantments: [{lvl: 1, id: "minecraft:depth_strider"}], display: {Name: '[{"text":"Dragon","bold":true,"color":"light_purple"},{"text":"_","color":"#993366

Grinding in Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 is alot better than the previous game. the Field Hunts reward you with Atma even if you don't kill a single Mitama so you can slowly build up the Mantras to get the skills needed to kill them and with the framerate disabled with the emulator you can just run back and forth for 5 Solar Cycles to reset the Field Hunt
now if only they didn't put the Field Hunts so far away from Small Karma Temple Terminals

Q: Are there any Pokémon that lose base stats when they evolve?

NzallMost Pokémon become more powerful when they evolve, gaining a higher base stat amount in all their stats (attack, defense, special attack, special defense and speed). Are there any Pokémon that, when evolved, instead have one or more of these base stat amounts reduced instead of increased?

Q: Does exist any way to add PS+ PS4 Collection games to PS4 without PS5?

TravelerVihaanI understand, that PS+ PS4 Collection is available on PlayStation 5. I also know that if I add PS4 PS+ Collection games, then I am able to install and play them on PlayStation 4 too. But does exists any trick to "emulate" PS5 to add these games in "fake" PS5 and make possible download these games...

 
@Lazers2.0 I started to look into this but there are just too many for me to bother with
Especially a bunch of post-pupa bug types
 
I'm actually quite sure there are, some evolutions are quite drastic. Losing speed is probably the most likely one
 
Yeah a bunch lose speed or defense
There's also Trapinch to Vibrava, which famously loses Attack
 
@Wrigglenite oh
I thought it would be a limited list
Like, that it would be similar to that "pokémon that get smaller when they evolve" question and it would only a handful
 
There are a lot more
Thankfully the Smogon people already compiled a spreadsheet of all stat changes on evolution but it's stil too much of a pain for me

Q: Multiple external HDDs on PS4

TravelerVihaanIs it possible to connect two external Hard Drives to one PS4? I have a lot of digital games and I just like to keep it installed, but free space on current HDDs (one internal, one external) is quite small. I think about buying a second HDD case and plug it into another USB socket in the console....

 
@Wrigglenite That's for the Galar region
I'm going to reduce the scope so there's no 6 stats that need to be compared across 900 Pokémon and 10 generations
 
The last tab has every Pokémon, I assume using gen 7 stats for those not present in Galar
 
@Wrigglenite yeah, but there are 8 other generations, and stats change between some of them on the same Pokémon. I've decided to reduce the scope to "any Pokémon that has a lower base stat total as their evolution within the mainline games".

Q: Which Pokemon weigh less or the same when they evolve?

MBorgMost Pokemon gain weight (and height) when they evolve. There are some exceptions to this, for example Gloom to Bellossom, and Cosmeom to either Solgaleo or Lunala. Which Pokemon lose weight or retain their weight when evolving? There are some lists online, but they are all incomplete.

Q: how do you invite friends to halloween 2018 in google doodles

THEDUDEi have been playing halloween 2018 for a long time but i have not found a way to share a link with friends

 
3:37 PM
@Wrigglenite Which is a fun time.
Totally.
Wait, this room description hasn't changed in four months. That feels like it should be a record.
 
> The Bridge, in which the room description hasn't changed in four months.
Also, I tried to get clever with today's puzzle and use literal_eval to parse the input straight into a dictionary, but it didn't like the way some of the numbers are formatted
 
I haven't finished the first part, but I'm just taking them in as strings. Hope it doesn't bite me in the ass for part 2.
 
3:52 PM
SaintWacko: that will become relevant in part 2, I think
 
I finished the first part, but now I really need to get some work done. I'll have to finish it later
 
@MBraedley It's fine for part 2 and in fact it's good tbh
You'll need to validate it for part 2 but I just parsed it inside my validation
 
My work week is done
3 more days of work next week and then I don't have to do anything for work anymore until at least the 4th of January
 
I'm not sure if any of my TryParse type validations failed though so
I don't think there's any truly garbage data in the year fields
If there is though that'd be invalid

Q: Can't find block breaking sound effect

darthvader1925I am looking through the json file that shows the sound effects. I am trying to replace the block breaking sound effect. I have already found "break.ogg" but that didn't change the sound effect, as I heard the default breaking noise. Is there a different file for breaking blocks? Thanks.

brie larson being the presenter for the game awards is just chef's kiss
There's going to be so much Gamer Rage and I am 100% here for it.
 
@Yuuki Wait, Brie Larson is the voice actor of that one Last of Us 2 character that everyone hated because spoilers, right?
 
@Nzall No, that's Laura Bailey, I think.
 
oh
And that character is the same character that everyone mocks for being fit in an apocalypse, right?
 
Brie Larson is currently most famous for Captain Marvel, although she has big roles before.
 
oh right
 
5:08 PM
@Nzall Well, that's not the main reason, but yeah.
 
@Yuuki yeah, I know the reason she was reallyhated
just wanted to keep the spoilers out a bit

5:42 PM
Creeper World 4 is good
 
@GnomeSlice Oh man. I'm definitely going play it this weekend
 
Yeah very solid
a few new things, nothing super out of the ordinary yet but I'm sure there will be some interesting new stuff
It looks great too
the UI is still very the same but it's fine
Thing I love about this series is it supports turtling and taking your time
I stink at speedy RTS games
 
@GnomeSlice awesome
And yeah, turtling is my favourite way to RTS
Total Annihilation crew represent
 
never heard of that
CW series are really the only RTS games ive gotten really into
 
It had the misfortune to come out at the same time as StarCraft
 
5:50 PM
also tower defense games but I think there's a lot of overlap
 
So a lot of people have never heard of it, which is a shame, because it's really good
 
reminder that cartridge defense is also very good
yeah I've never heard of that. huh
 
If you've heard of Supreme Commander (the first one, the second is very different), that's a spiritual sequel to it
 
starcraft is very much not my thing
 
The main things that distinguished it were much larger battles (hundreds to thousands of units), a continuous economy with infinite resources (so capturing more resource deposits lets you build stuff faster, but it'll never run out), a focus on macromanagement over micro (decent unit AI, infinite queing of build orders (including building construction) & unit orders, no limits on selection) and lots and lots of flavours of defensive structures
I liked it a lot more than StarCraft, but Blizzard ended up basically defining the next 20 years of mainstream RTS design :/
 
5:53 PM
or DUNE depending on who you ask
 
Dune 2 kicked off the genre, but WarCraft, Command & Conquer, and Total Annihilation are all recognizeably descended from it
But it's WarCraft/StarCraft that raked in the big bucks and that everyone copied
TA did eventually get two spiritual successors (Supreme Commander, and then skirmish-only Planetary Annihilation years later); the studio that made it went on to make fantasy RTS Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, which was much more experimental and not as well received, and then went bankrupt.
For me it joins Homeworld and Ground Control as "badly under-explored niches in RTS evolution that I like a lot more than the ones that actually became popular"
But yeah, for TA specifically the infinite resources + wide array of defensive structures means it is an ideal game for turtle-heavy gameplay in the campaign (no idea if this holds up in MP against a fast player, probably not)
Back to creeper world 4, the one thing I don't like about it based on what I've seen is that it probably won't run on my laptop~
 
One RTS that's kinda memorable to me was Battlerealms because of how unit generation worked.
You generally could only make one kind of unit that you would send to different training facilities to make different combat units. There was a bit of progression too, IIRC, in that to make better units, you'd send them to different successive training structures.
 
@ToxicFrog It does actually seem surprisingly tasking
I recommend this one as well, and it's only $5
It's short but pretty challenging
Negative reviews are mostly for crashes, never happened to me
 
6:09 PM
Cartridge Defence is on my list; Fortify looks less interesting to me
 
It's just a nice little filler
That's pretty much it for RTS for me never really had much interest in the big names. Maybe I'll take a look at planetary annihilation, I heard it was pretty poorly received though?
 
PlAnn was justifiably poorly received on release and while it's gotten a bunch of upgrades since I still wouldn't really recommend it, especially for what you're looking for
I'd suggest Supreme Commander 1 or going back to the original with Total Annihilation; both can be had on GOG these days.
It occurs to me that you might also enjoy Dungeon Keeper, if you haven't played it.
 
Ive looked at some stuff like that but..
I dunno
there's KeeperRL too
 
I haven't played KeeperRL yet, but it's on my list
 
6:14 PM
I have played Dungeons 2/3, and enjoyed it, but it's pretty different from the original in some important ways
 
I don't know much about them
I preordered... something a while back that was like that but I can't find it now
 
In Dungeons you have to actually send troops aboveground and play stuff on the RTS layer there rather than just making your underground dungeon a total deathtrap
And the lack of the training room means combat is the only way your troops level up, which in turn devalues traps compared to DK
 
can't find it, whatever it was I think it was abandoned lol
idk that sounds cool I guess I'm not really a big fan of RTS games
creeper world and star-twine are pretty much it
and a huge amount of tower defense
 
nods
 
If i feel the urge for a new one as I occasionally do I'll take a look though thanks for the recs
 
6:22 PM
The reason I suggested DK is that it has a kind of tower-defency feel to it. Dig tunnels, fill them with traps, try to build a machine that turns adventurous heroes into mulch.
 
I couldnt get into Overlord
 
Overlord is like a third-person action game, isn't it?
 
uh i dont think so
okay not overlord
war for the overworld
but it was too micromanagey for me
too much of a god game
supposedly a DK successor
 
Aah
I never played WftO
And don't really know much about it
 
i played it for like 15 mins
 
6:24 PM
DK is kind of god-gamey in the sense that you can't directly control any of your creatures, just set up incentives for them -- the hardest control you can exert is picking them up and dropping them somewhere else in the dungeon.
(ok there is actually a first-person mode that lets you play as a single creature, and some of the optional secret levels require using it; I never liked it much)
(but to me that's kind of the opposite of micromanagement, your creatures are largely self-directing and you build the dungeon around them)
 
right
maybe I'll reinstall it and give it a shot then I didn't really try very hard haha
 
n.b. everything I said there applies to the original Dungeon Keeper, I didn't play DK2 much and I know nothing about WftO
So for all I know it changed a lot
But now that you've mentioned it I think I need to at least try it out, because "spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper" is very much of interest to me
 
it was pretty well received, I grabbed it on impulse
Dungeon Colony, that was the one
definitely abandoned, lol
meh
 
6:51 PM
There we go, day 4 completed
part 2 was fun
lambdas and list comprehensions and dict comprehensions
And also seems to have been my slowest entry so far at 19 ms
 
@SaintWacko oh right I forgot
 
@Wipqozn Tsk, tsk
@ToxicFrog It's pretty much Pikmin for PC
And it's super fun
 
@SaintWacko sorry, what is?

Overlord
 
7:33 PM
Oh
I played the first one back in the day, didn't really like it
 
Sigh... I need my rubber caster wheels to get here so my robot vacuum stops trying to mate with my chair
 
So you don't want a chair with roombas for wheels?

8:22 PM
The limit for concurrent connections to a domain in Chrome is too low, and there should be a way to increase it or completely disable it, at least for a list of domains (presumed to be internal domains) </rant>
@Wipqozn I decided I should be using regex, but that would require (re)learning the C++ standard implementation.

I want a PS5 so I can play Demon Souls
I don't want to spend $500 though. Not that I can even find out.
But also I can't play the PS3 version because that's old

And old is awful

It's not as if you can actually order one right now here, nobody has any in stock
 
I just got lucky with Costco.ca
 
I do really enjoy the Facebook ads that tell me to get one now and if you click the link they're sold out
 
8:51 PM
I tried it yesterday with Amazon, they still were listed as available but failed on checkout
 
Has anyone here played Persona 5?
