@GrumpyLazers How the hell did this get an upvote?
 
@BenBrocka SP yes, EX not so much.
If you could act a lot more frequently, EX gain-per-turn would be very nice, but I ran an Act Fast Lv5, EX-per-turn Lv5, and that really didn't actually get me a huge bonus.
 
@fbueckert Pity
Guys, you're chasing away another new user... — GnomeSlice 5 mins ago
 
Fi? Is that actually a Skyward Sword question?
Or is that a Diablo thing too?
 
Fi is the name of your little companion.
I'm not sure what he's talking about. I don't remember anything like that in the game.
 
9:15 PM
I'm pretty sure there is no character named Fi in DIablo III
 
@BenBrocka Clearly Skyward Sword.
 
I didn't evene notice.
I just assumed it was Zelda.
 
9:29 PM
@Wipqozn Except it wasn't downvoted at the time...
 
@Powerlord See, I didn't even realize it was Skyward Sword.
I figured it was something in Act 2.
 
@Ullallulloo Proactive pity.
@badp yeeessssss
I approve of your existence @badp.
 
I am flattered.
 
I just assumed the question was how to hit the bell on Beedle's shop in the Bazaar in Skyward Sword.
 
9:32 PM
@Wipqozn Apparently, it made sense, according to Gnome.
 
@Wipqozn Also, that comment was posted like ten-fifteen minutes after it was upvoted.
 
At least it's understandable now.
 
@Powerlord Dupe then:
 
Before, it just didn't make sense at all.

Q: How do you get Beedle's airship to stop?

Ben HorwoodThere doesn't seem to be a feasible way to ring the bell on the bottom of Beedle's airship. It seems it might be possible to stab a pumpkin and throw it at the bell or lift up a pot and throw it. The main problem is aiming, it does not seem obvious how the player is supposed to aim.

 
9:34 PM
Beedle is the best
 
Anyway, homing go time.
 
OHHHHHH THAAANK YOUUU
 
er... Going Home time
 
We should let @badp close it then so it will have the dupe link
 
@Ullallulloo We're still not sure what this question is asking. Duping is not what we should be doing.
 
9:35 PM
Also, not sure if this is descriptive enough to new players: tf2files.rbemrose.com/motd.html
That's my test server's new MOTD.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, it probably shouldn't be closed as a dupe. But if that is what he means, it would be.
 
@BenBrocka I love how when you talk with Beedle at his island, he's incredibly eloquent and well-spoken, but when you talk to him in the shop, it's all BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE and THAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOUUU!
 
I need to test it on the real game to see if it uses the TF2 Professor font like it's supposed to.
 
@Ullallulloo Yes, agreed. Until this user returns to clarify what he's asking, then it's NARQ.
 
@Wipqozn It was going in the back of my mind as I pondered on that stupid FF12 boss and how to make that boss more interesting. I figured it'd be nice if your party would come there with 5 minutes left on the big doom clock and you'd find the boss already dying with a copy of your party busy on finishing it off; you must use whatever small time you have to go back to the beginning of time, where the real boss fight actually begins from there for the next few million years.
...except it turns out you screwed the time travel stuff and only bought ten minutes.
 
9:38 PM
@BenBrocka I just watch a video and I hate this guy.
 
@Powerlord On Chrome it all looks Arial, so that's not a good start.
 
The kicker is that if you're too good at the boss and kill him in the first 10 minutes, history doesn't sync, the time loop isn't closed and you only saved the timeline you jumped onto when you time travelled, so you actually have to buy time or somesuch for the best ending
 
met tannis today. she's real good at hugging in the kind of way where i hug her leg and don't let go and she screams for an hour
@OrigamiRobot Why can't my pikmin do that?
 
9:42 PM
@BenBrocka I am interested in the magic ant hose that they use.
 
My computer's behaving strangely. Who else is surprised
Fucking die, Adobe Reader. DIE.
Now my sound stack is fucked.
tries again in frustration to force the earplugs in his Nexus 7, failing
I found out it's a good way to pry your device open btw.
Should you ever want to do that, just fuck up your earphone plug so the jack doesn't fit. Works 100%
 
@badp I read Adobe Reader as Adolf Hitler. Same thing, really.

Ado be lf Read Hitl er

@OrigamiRobot Just pull the Ants handle on your faucet, that's how I get my ants
 
9:57 PM
@BenBrocka Mine just kind of creep in from under the sink. I think my ants faucet was stemmed, but is leaking.
 
Older ant pipes are more prone to leaks
 
@OrigamiRobot Am I the only one who's grossed out by those "ant dispensers"?
PRESS BUTTON. GET ANTS.
 
Ants are a necessary part of a balanced diet.
Doctors recommend drinking at least 3-5 glasses of ants a day.
 
Ants are one of the few cereals that really do stay crunchy in milk

Q: Do characters permanently lose their stats when downgrading to a lower class?

NolonarI've decided to use Second Seals to reclass each one of my favourite characters to the Mercenary class (if available) in order to learn the Armsthrift skill. I am aware, that by reclassing my character, they will lose their current class' stats bonuses and in turn receive their new class' stats ...

Q: Can I make a game use FXAA using NVidia application profiles?

RPG MasterI would like to be able to run Team Fortress 2 with FXAA enabled, but the only way I know how is to turn on in NVidia settings "enhance application settings" which effects all games and apps using OpenGL. I see that in the latest beta driver they've added "application profile" support, which look...

 
10:29 PM
Don't we mark questions as duplicates if their content is answered is another question?
I remembered encountering a case like that before, not sure if it was here or on SFF.
 
@Arperum where?
 
@badp It seemls to be killed already.

It's late over here! I blame tiredness or something >_<
 
10:41 PM
@Yawus Nope. You did the right think in linked to the related question, however.
@badp Accidentally opened your boss fight music video and Ben Brocka's Beedle vid at the same time.
For a moment, I was thinking: "How does @badp think this music is epic if you can't hear it over Beedle's gratulations?"
 
You could've stopped at "think" there.

Q: Where do I connect a road to?

IanI'm trying to plan out my new fortress before I start construction, but I'm not sure where the road must go. I'd like to ensure that I don't need to construct a road right across the entire map. Is there any particular edge that wagons always arrive from? Can they come from any edge? Or is it sim...

 
Like any true TF2 player, my primary goal in my upcoming trip to Europe is this: acquire more hats.
Thinking about picking a bowler in England and a nice beret in France.
 
10:55 PM
Make sure they're unusuals. Set your hats on fire as soon as you buy them.
 
I just set the hat store on fire so I know how they look on-fire before I buy them
 
I think if I want flaming hats, I need to buy them pre-ignited.
It doesn't count if you do it afterwards.
Everybody knows they're worth less if crafted.
 
No one thinks any less of the strange frying pan for being crafted.
 
*yawn* Oh why am I awake at this ungodly hour?
I... need to acquire... coffee
 
@PrivatePansy Hats.
 
11:06 PM
Do you know the cookhouse in BMTC only serves coffee to commanders? No such luxuries for us plebs
 
@PrivatePansy Gotta give some incentives to "level up"
For the "Dumbest questions, most upvotes" series:
Is it a good practice to create a constant for 1 billion? http://programmers.stackexchange.com/q/199310?atw=1 #codingstyle
Just look at how much time it took before somebody mentioned 1e9.
oh, actually Thijs mentioned that pretty quickly.
Here, reluctant upvote.
 
user20683
@badp it has no close votes on it
 
int onesecond = 1; thread.sleep(onesecond)
to elaborate, in c# the thread.sleep method takes in milliseconds
 
user20683
11:23 PM
@SimonL most sleep() do
 
@SimonL Wouldn't this just sleep it for a millisecond?

Q: How can I go to war to claim a duchy rather than a county?

Paul MarshallI'm exactly two counties away from being able to declare myself Emperor of England. I have a stack of courtiers and other nobles with claims on various bits of English real estate, including several claims on duchies, which I've verified through looking at the claimants for titles. Unfortunately...

Q: Is branch mining effective?

Kort PlecoIs branch mining effective in TerraFirmaCraft, the minecraft mod? I know that you're practically guaranteed an increase in ore over what you consumed mining in vanilla minecraft, but I would like to know if the ore veins are common enough in TMC to make it worthwhile to just branch mine instead o...

 
user20683
@fbueckert yeah
 
@fbueckert Yes, I was attempting to show a problem you could run into with named constants like ONE_BILLION
 
@SimonL It depends on what the method accepts.
Defining a value to that degree is usually counter productive.
 
11:28 PM
@fbueckert I agree it is counter productive.
 
Now if all time-based methods accepted ints as milliseconds, and only as milliseconds, we might have something to work with.
Or even if they had a standardized unit of measure.
 
I believe the thread.sleep method accepts a timespan which I think is what you're going for.
Yah it does I just checked on the msdn docs.
I just started out a game of crawl and found mottled dragon armor next to where I spawned dungeon 1 - Can any item spawn on any level of the dungeon?

Q: Wafku won't start

Marth NeoI happen to install Wakfu with a SH file but somehow doesn't seem it wants to start up, "I don't know if has to do with my graphic cards" any suggestion what it can be?

 
11:51 PM
I'm thinking it's time for some drunken KSP! Who's with me?
 
@MBraedley I'm with the KSP part!
 
@kalina I feel like I was just rick rolled...
 
poor you
 
I love the new KSP loading screen. Have I said that before? Because it feels like it bares repeating.
