Q: God of WAR 2 on PS3 Rendering glitch

ShadowI recently started God of War2 on PS3. But I got stuck because of a rendering issue after I first entered temple of lahkesis. Just after I came on my flying horse from somewhere. I cannot give image here as I have 1 rating. But its a place where I have to keep a dead body on a button that ope...

Q: Does the flag on Dante's jacket change?

musefanThere is a flag on Dante's jacket, I first noticed this during the cut scene at the end of the first level. The flag is a sown on patch kind of thing, and is on his upper left arm. This flag was a flag of the United Kingdom. However, I find it strange he would have a British flag, but as I am in...

 
9:48 AM
bla bla bla
 
brains?
 
no
two days of 10+ hours of sleep each night
surreal
why is there never anything interesting on meta
we need some new drama
 
The opportunity to vandalize our About page doesn't titillate you?
 
no
cba spending hours looking for a question I think is good
 
@kalina I've changed the post to provide a list of questions
 
9:56 AM
that's still hours reading through your suggested list of questions
that's a lot of effort and care for something that will get generally ignored
 
It's not my suggested list of questions, it's the list of questions as far as Shog said
 
ok
does that change the point of my statement though?
 
It depends on your boredom level
 
I don't think I'll ever be that bored
besides you've already got a couple of suggestions
they'll do
@badp could you merge with as per this?
might as well finish up the 2012 cleanup
 
there you have it.
 
10:04 AM
and could you status-completed on meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/q/5211/27134
 
there you have it.
 
there you have it.
 
how many more times can I do this before you say no?
 
@kalina There are other SE sites with much higher drama density, Arqade is rather quiet in that regard lately
 
10:07 AM
this needs a status-completed on it too meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/q/4976/27134
@MadScientist I don't want to use another se site though :(
 
I do not use reddit, ever
I want drama, not brain damage
@badp this one is your call but I think this should be actioned too meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/q/4980/27134
 
@kalina Your loss. There's some grade A drama there.
@kalina Performance isn't exactly a brilliant tag either
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone better than 'framerate'
might as well have one bad tag instead of two
 
@kalina there you have it
 
10:12 AM
victory
my goal is to get you to do so many that in future you action it without fully reading the request
so I can say something like delete @GnomeSlice
 
@kalina there you have it
 
:D
 
Mmhmmm, conditioning
 
incidentally
more people starred the "Iā™„ponies" star than the "hey guys we have a new minecraft server"
so I'm still upholding that there are more people who love ponies than minecraft
 
@kalina Well, I fall into the latter category, if you need some anecdotal evidence
I have not yet played Minecraft. Maybe I should.
 
10:18 AM
nope
nobody should play minecraft
there is so little stuff on the front page that I can answer
 
@kalina You should probably have said that before millions of people bought the game and made Notch a millionaire
 
probably
oh well
all these mass effect canon questions are annoying
its just loads of "yes but what about this event, surely this is canon?" -> "the exec producer of mass effect at bioware says there is no canon" -> "but what about this choice, surely this is canon?" -> "..."
 
Speaking of canon...
@bladekiller123 so if pegasi pass helium then what kind of gas do unicorns pass? Neon. It's what makes their horns glow.
 
sigh
now I have teh MLP theme stuck in my head
 
10:42 AM
Unicorns are the noblest of ponies.
 
10:56 AM
Unicorns aren't ponies
 
@badp A pony is a horse that's less than 14.2 hands high
 
damn am i bored x. x
 
11:12 AM
 
@James Holy mother of dithering
 
11:23 AM
@James That's a patient human you've got there, James.
 
@fredley I know where that is
 
@kalina Wow
I can't believe someone actually called their shop that
 
290 Vicarage Road, Kings Heath
in Birmingham
 
@kalina Well done
 
11:35 AM
amazing what you can find on google
;)
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Royksopp binge time
 
@kalina I found this image on a site called 'Birminham: It's not that shit'
 
@fredley lol
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well quite, can't believe they missed that classic
 
11:48 AM
eugh, boys...
I feel damaged
they're playing a "game" where they replace the last words of movie titles with the vulgar term c**t
and they're all laughing hysterically
 
How did you even end up at that job at 19?
 
low age means they can pay me less than somebody with qualifications
it wasn't easy, I went through like 4 interviews
 
Huh. I don't think I can even get an interview here without the paperwork
 
but more than anything they desperately needed somebody who knew SQL with an understanding of .NET
and since I 'technically' work in the support department, even though I don't really do any support, they couldn't get the sort of people who would traditionally be skilled in those things
meh in the UK qualifications aren't really that important if you can demonstrate you're capable enough of doing the job
depends from company to company though
I very much doubt I'd be able to get a job doing what I do elsewhere
and I certainly wouldn't get paid what I get paid
but I have been here 2 years now
well, nearly
 
12:17 PM
@kalina Hugely. IMO most the places that demand a 2i from a top university before they'll even look at you are some of the worst places to work.
 
@Wipqozn Read the original, instead of blogspam: securityblog.verizonbusiness.com/2013/01/14/…
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Database error.
 
Oh, it got crushed under HN and reddit traffic :P

Q: How to get personal resources other than by res.nods

user41011How do I get more res? If I kill a lot of enemies, if I heal/repair a lot, if I travel a lot. I seriously don't know how to be more efficient in this game and how to get resources more than my teammates.

 
1:13 PM
 
1:26 PM
@fbueckert It's not really a 2GB cap, they just limit you to 3G speeds after that I believe. I haven't hit 2GB anyway
@Fluttershy I wasn't, what's up?

zZzZz
 
@kalina ... and then I said, "Oatmeal? Are you crazy!?"
 
and yet not THAT bored! :P
 
Hmmm, 1337 helpful flags
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you should stop flagging so that I can get marshall
 
@kalina Take your time :P
 
1:43 PM
@badp not bored enough to do that, no
@YiJiang'sEvilClone hey I ignored all flagging for ages, because like the first 20 flags I submitted were declined
my big one was using 'not an answer' for technically incorrect answers
 
Your internal flag weight is still positive, right?
 
well my flags don't get rejected now
and I have hundreds of them that have been accepted
so I would guess so
 
@BenBrocka You were on Steam. I was gonna ask in here what I asked you about Harvest Moon.
 
The system keeps track of your flag weight internally, and presents flagged posts to mods for review based on the order. If you make too many bad flags the number can get so low that your flags will be ignored by the system
 
I don't think that is a problem currently
359 moderator attention flags
4 waiting for review
317 deemed helpful
8 declined
29 disputed
+ 100% accept in all other categories
 
1:49 PM
@kalina That is a lot of flags
Also, my car's coolant system sprung a leak yesterday :(
 
@SaintWacko not in the grand scheme of things it isn't

Q: What is the point of putting a Rock on the comm with the Mantis?

OrigamiRobotA couple times now, I've encountered a Mantis ship decorated with Rock body parts. If I have a Rock crew member, I am given a blue option to put him on the comm with the mantis ship. Every time I do this, there is still a fight and I get no obvious rewards increase at the end. Usually a blue o...

 
@Fluttershy Ah
So there's romance options in ANB? I wasn't expecting them since you could pick your gender
 
2:04 PM
@BenBrocka Yep. You could pick your gender in Tale of Two Towns, and it had romance options too.
 
@fredley Maths! \o/
 
@TimStone Quite
 
@fredley Clocks do have a tendency to induce server lag, though, so be careful...
 
@Fluttershy Ah never played that one. No one's moved in to my town yet, I should play more
 
At least they used to, maybe that's been optimized
 
2:05 PM
@SaintWacko More than a pure-redstone alternative?
 
I usually date the Tomboy/Ann equivalent, that'll be more complicated since I picked a girl
 
@fredley Actually, I think so
Since it'll technically be multiple clocks running at once, instead of just one
It may not be an issue though, just a caution that if you notice the server lagging, that may be the first thing to check
 
@SaintWacko I've had a few running with no noticeable lag. I think red alloy wiring is much more of a concern
 
@fredley Does it induce more lag?
I don't have a lot of experience with redstone in modded servers
 
Are there any other SE sites that have their own domain but redirect to a subdomain of SE.com?
 
2:14 PM
@SaintWacko Dunno, so much anyway :-P
 
@fredley Lol, guess we'll have to see
I keep meaning to get on the server, but I made the mistake of starting in on civ 5...
 
@DaveMcClelland seasonedadvice.com and askdifferent.com
 
I have a large amount of the world scared of me, because I've already rolled four civs, and I'm about to finish off a fifth
 
@BenBrocka Excellent, thanks
 
I should probably play on a higher difficulty
 
2:15 PM
Oh, that got oneboxed
nothingtoinstall.com
 
Good morning, Bridge
 
@fbueckert Morning
 
Honestly
 
@DaveMcClelland I think it's the new way of doing things, but SO SU and SF started with their own domains (and they're big) so they kept their own domain
 
Arqade is very much better than Nothing To Install :P
 
2:16 PM
askubuntu.com on the other hand takes redirection from ubuntu.stackexchange.com
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone They kept the URL but I don't think they use the name at all
 
@BenBrocka Yup, the name isn't used anymore
 
...was a weird name anyway. I get where they were going with it. It just doesn't go all the way there
 
I think it's kind of neat. Not very much emphasis on the Q&A aspect though
 
Nothing to install sounds like some sort of weird cloud/webapp start up
 
2:17 PM
@BenBrocka Yeah, or a blog
 
@BenBrocka That makes sense. Either way it was good to have another piece of data for this question
 
yesterday, by kalina
we will always be ā™„gaming.stackexchange.comā™„
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I have such rage for those oneboxes too. I still think it'd be far less obnoxious if it was just the favicon and a text link, but.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Wups, I was just linking that
 
@TimStone Yeah, I don't like them either
 
2:19 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone But what about AskDifferent?!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone And from what I've heard, @kalina is a terrible mod so why would we trust her?
 
@DaveMcClelland pff
 
@kalina I didn't say that you were, just that I've seen it said!
 
rages
 
Some could seriously use a background or something
 
2:22 PM
@SaintWacko No good. We all have jetpacks and quarries and epic factories now :-(
 
@BenBrocka It would be super if UX's logo had black outlines on the text. That's basically impossible to read on my monitor
 
@BenBrocka That onebox is illegible
 
@BenBrocka Yeah, that reminds me that the Data Explorer homepage needs to be redone to use the touch icons and avoid that problem.
 
Oh, it's more visible in here than it is in beta sites though. Then it's pure white on white
On beta sites literally the only visible thing is the dropshadow
IIRC someone's logo is even worse
 
@fredley That's how I am on my other FTB server
 
2:23 PM
@BenBrocka I have to use this site on occasion.
 
Anyone have Quantum armor yet?
 
It's one of the many reasons I hate Sharepoint.
 
@SaintWacko Don't think so
 
is mostly white too
 
@fredley Psh, I had full quantum four days after joining the other server :P
 
2:25 PM
@DaveMcClelland Everybody makes a bad mod. Some are just badder than others.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Truth
 
I'd make an excellent mod, which is why I'm not allowed to be one (clearly).

Q: Where are all the purple eridium totems?

Dave McClellandAs mentioned in this question, I've been finding eridium totems while playing through Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. By now I believe we've found 4 totems and dumped nearly 100 eridium into them, but there seem to be more to go. Where are all the eridium totems located? Map(s) are ideal.

Q: How can I set up a 12 hour timer?

fredleyI want to trigger a mechanism once every real-time 12 hours. Is this possible, or well out of the realms of plausibility? I'm using the Direwolf modpack.

Q: Data.SE Still calls us "gaming"

Dave McClellandWhile querying Arqade on data.SE, I noticed that the page title still says Query Gaming. Out of curiosity, I popped over and opened a query of SU and saw that the page title was Query Super User. Though arqade.com does redirect to gaming.se, I see this as being inconsistent with our rebranding a...

Q: Site oneboxes are often white, invisible

fredleyOneboxing of site links is often not visible, especially on beta sites: Many sites, like Ask Ubuntu and Sharepoint also have predominantly white logos in oneboxes. These images should have a background colour, so that they are legible in oneboxes.

 
2:29 PM
My father is trying to find me a job. So far most of them seem to be asking for alphabet soup skills.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Some mods just want to watch the world burn
 
@fredley What are you doing to make the background turn white?
 
He just showed me one looking for programmers skilled in 'Java Script [sic] and VB.NET', amongst other things
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well can you make alphabet soup?
Cutting the holes in the A right every time can't be easy
 
@SaintWacko My problem is not knowing what exists
 
@SaintWacko Editing css
Just removed class that made it blue
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Sounds like you're looking at positions as a chef, then
 
@badp I usually get them in cans
 
If I link google.com directly do non-US people get the right domain? I know some countries don't get the same doodles
 
@fredley ...So you're complaining because a modification you made to the site makes it hard to see?
 
2:31 PM
@BenBrocka Don't think so. You might have to add the .ca domain name
 
@SaintWacko No, That is a beta chat room (not this one, notice how I didn't post them here?). That's how they appear to users who aren't you.
 
@fredley The FTB wiki is very useful
 
@SaintWacko So much stuff
 
ZOMG
EVE ONLINE PATCH
wooooo
 
@fredley Oh, okay. They were posted here, though
 
2:33 PM
@SaintWacko Can I wear quantum armour with jetpack?
 
@kalina Ooh, cool, what's new?
 
@SaintWacko don't know/care
 
@fredley Not full quantum, but the best parts
@kalina Heh
 
It will be something I can't access for another 8 years after watching a clock tick down on <SKILL> level 5
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hm, I wonder if there's any way to link direct to the US google page then, since we don't get a different TLD. Oh well, .ca works too for this one
 
2:33 PM
@SaintWacko I think they're merging Eve with Dust 514.
 
@fredley You can still get the super jump and super sprint
 
@fbueckert They've already done that, didn't they?
 
But a lot of quantum armor bonuses are broken in FTB
 
@SaintWacko Uh?
 
It won't protect you from fire and won't refill your air/food
 
2:34 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I thought so, but if they did, it was last week.
 
@fredley What?
 
Maybe patches for stability.
 
@SaintWacko Who?
 
@fredley Huh?
 
@fbueckert happened last week
 
2:35 PM
@fbueckert I thought Dust was supposed to be integrated from the start (maybe not while in Beta?)
 
@BenBrocka already integrated, from the start of beta
 
@SaintWacko Eh?
 
@fredley Wha...?
 
woo gm response
 
@SaintWacko Onions. The answer is onions.
 
2:38 PM
"we have reset your timed remaps"
now I can put all my attribute points into intelligence
 
@SaintWacko Why?
 
I got a dust 514 beta invite but it had ended by the time I tried it
 
@fredley Whosit?
 
@kalina Why do you want to remap so early?
 
@SaintWacko Ok, this has gotten out of control.
 
2:40 PM
@SaintWacko Say what?
 
Stop it, both of you.
 
@fbueckert Why?
 
@fbueckert Why?
 
@MadScientist because I made all my attributes even, and since then decided that since everything I want to learn is int/mem based that I should remap to int/mem
doing so has just knocked 6 hours off cybernetics 4
 
@kalina So you don't want to fly ships?
 
2:40 PM
I have 3 remaps
 
And shoot stuff?
 
so I'm going to not play EVE for a month
 
@kalina Do you use Evemon?
 
during which time I will log in every few days to learn something INT/MEM based
 
Hmm, I only had 2 remaps when I started
 
2:41 PM
so that when I want to play, all the key sciency stuff will be at level 5
@SaintWacko no
there's no point until I start playing it properly
and I can't fly any big ships because I'm missing too many skills
and while learning to fly ships is willpower/perception
all the skills for shields, weapons, etc are int/mem
so far I have science to level 5, cybernetics is nearly level 4 but I'll get that to level 5 and replace all my implants to speed things up even more
 
@kalina It's really useful for plotting out skill training, and figuring out when to remap to get the best benefits
 
@SaintWacko I will use it before I next remap
 
@kalina mk
When I played EVE, I used that and EFT quite a bit
 
@kalina Big ships are overrated. I've 30 million SP only in ships and related skills (no industry/mining) and still can't reasonably fly a battleship. I mostly fly frigates and destroyers, and sometimes cruisers
 
@MadScientist 30 million? I have like 10000
 
2:44 PM
@MadScientist I had a around 60 million SP when I stopped playing, and that was just getting good with a battleship. I flew a Nightmare
 
Damnit hockey players why are you throwing banana peels on the rink where did you even get bananas
5
 
@BenBrocka More like why the hell do kids throw cans of gasoline around?
 
@BenBrocka its not a problem, just make sure you're moving in a direction you need to go before you hit them
 
Also, you two are making me want to play EVE again
 
@SaintWacko why would anybody want to play EVE
I have to keep playing EVE, else I'll end up playing WoW
but you can still save yourself
 
2:46 PM
@kalina I played EVE for about a year
 
@fredley The gasoline makes a perverse sort of sense. The banana peels just seem odd
 
The strategy aspect is fun, but it does get old
 
in about a year I will probably just about have enough skill points to play the game
heh
 
@kalina I think watching endless reruns of Friends would still be a more productive use of time than playing either of those
 
Why not just not play either?
 
2:46 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I watched every friends episode back to back not long ago
 
@BenBrocka In what was is kids throwing gasoline around a 'perverse sort of sense'?
 
and then deleted them, to free up 150gb of disk space
 
Just play games that don't have a monthly fee
 
@fredley google doodle game
 
2:47 PM
@BenBrocka Hockey players should leave blood around, that would make sense.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone don't ewww at me
 
@kalina Quite, that's what I'm talking about
 
@fredley Then you'd have to clean up the blood
 
oh ok
 
2:47 PM
@fredley Well someone has to drop fuel. Maybe they're skating fuel over to their cars. Skating is how people get around on a day to day basis in Canada right?
 
There are Taiwanese soap operas whose episode count goes up to 4 digits
 
gets back to thinking of more stargate questions to ask on movies.se
 
@SaintWacko I think the main issue here is that somehow a banana peel is more slippery than ice
 
I suppose you'll need to watch one of those instead
 
@kalina It's a myth that you can't play the game with low skills. Frigates are nice ships and you can fly them reasonably well after a week or two
 
2:48 PM
hey - if I raised the same stargate questions on both scifi and movies, do you think anybody would complain?
 
@fredley Oh. Hmm...
@kalina An excellent pastime!
 
@kalina No.
 
@kalina Cross posting is frowned upon
 
Most of the time MvM with strangers doesn't click
When it does it's glorious
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yes but we're talking about sci-fi here
 
2:48 PM
like, nobody complained about me using the sticky jumper.
not even a mention!
 
@kalina I don't think their standards are that low
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone sci fi doesn't have standards
and I like sci-fi's font
and their chat backdrop
users with less than 125 reputation can only post questions every 5 minutes; try again later.
sigh
 
You know these hockey players don't even have pucks. What are you hoodlums even doing there?
 
@BenBrocka Eating bananas
 
@SaintWacko Correct
 
2:52 PM
@kalina yes
 
oh well too late
 
I wonder how many working hours - globally - are wasted each time Google makes a mini-game.
 
@fredley I'll bet they know
 
And now professional ice skaters are dropping full pots of coffee
 
@SaintWacko this
 
2:52 PM
@SaintWacko Yes. They can probably work out how much they've cost their competitors too
@BenBrocka Coffee and bananas: The pro-ice-hockey diet.
 
And don't get me started on THIS
Everything about this is wrong
 
@BenBrocka The only thing I can think of is writing something to calculate the optimal path
And then having the AI play the game automatically
And seeing how long it lasts
 
9 hours ago, by GnomeSlice
I was supposed to get a calendar of pretty girls for $0.01. But they didn't mention the shipping fees, so I just paid $15 for a physical calendar that I'm now going to have to explain to my parents.
Son of a bitch
 
Oh, and the GOG downloader is really nice. It's simple, but it does it's job well. Seriously, Steam, is the option to limit bandwidth usage that hard to implement?
 
Neat, if there's just a tiny bit of scratched ice left and you dont' clean it up quick it starts flashing red to show you where it is (it's pretty hard to see a single bit of it)
 
2:58 PM
so where's the tiny bit of scratched ice here?
 
@badp Below goal on left hand side
 
It's not flashing for you?
 
There also may be a bit on the O in the center
