Q: Game save from old console to new

Tony McManusI had to purchase a new ps3 after my old one dies. I had all my game saves backed up on usb stick and now gta v wont let me access them on my new console. just comes up with you didn't create this so you cant use it.Any ideas?

 
Well, sugar is highly addictive.
 
The same study concluded the "cookie vs. cream" debate, scientifically too; rats chose cream first.
ergo, humans should do the same
Logically.
 
So, we should do everything that rats do?
Sounds good.
 
2:11 PM
> “This correlated well with our behavioral results and lends support to the hypothesis that high-fat/ high-sugar foods are addictive,” said Schroeder.
 
@Unionhawk No shit, Mr. Schroeder.
 
> “Even though we associate significant health hazards in taking drugs like cocaine and morphine, high-fat/ high-sugar foods may present even more of a danger because of their accessibility and affordability,” she said.
Oreos: now worse for you than cocaine.

YAY SCIENCE
 
Science wins again.
 
@Unionhawk I've always been of this opinion

Q: Best team fortress 2 trading site?

NewbieWhat is the best tf2 trading site ? I like tf2marketplace.com

 
Oreos are far more addictive than coke
 
Unless you mean the soft drink.
 
@Lazers This borders so close to spam
 
in which case, Coke is probably more addictive than Oreos
 
I don't like coca cola
whenever I say coke, I mean cocaine
 
2:14 PM
@Sterno Agreed. So when the university went from being a Coke campus to a Pepsi campus... >.>
 
clicking bad has taught me that I need to give up my day job and start cooking meth
 
Vanilla Coke is best coke.
 
@OrigamiRobot YES OH MY GOD I WISH IT WAS AVAILABLE HERE.
 
All Coke is terrible.
 
@Unionhawk Where are you?
 
2:16 PM
1 min ago, by Unionhawk
@Sterno Agreed. So when the university went from being a Coke campus to a Pepsi campus... >.>
 
@Lazers close votes plz
 
Also, we never had vanilla coke. I think it'll be in gas stations though.
 
@Unionhawk Surely you have grocery stores.
 
Clearly, @Unionhawk is at "Pepsi Campus"
 
@OrigamiRobot Well yes, but 2 problems: 1. I don't have a car, 2. I'm too lazy to bother.
 
2:17 PM
@Unionhawk Too lazy? You don't deserve Vanilla Coke!
 
Amazon delivers.
A mere $20 for a 12-pack of Vanilla Coke
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm not going to Wal-mart for just Vanilla Coke on my own. It would have to be a part of a greater "We're out of ramen and/or chips" general suite Wal-mart excursion for it to be worth it.
And we just got back from fall break, and family weekend was last week. So we're stocked until basically the end of the semester.
 
Oh god, you're in Dayton
I'm sorry.
 
@Sterno Meh. UD is a nice place.
 
Did they finally finish all that damn construction on 70?
 
2:21 PM
@Sterno I have no idea, but they haven't finished construction on 75, that's for damn sure.
 
When my wife and I were dating, I drove from Indianapolis to Columbus every weekend, and had to pass through Dayton. And over that three year period, I grew to hate Dayton and it's nonstop construction projects
 
@Sterno They had cars when you were younger?
 
@Sterno You mean there was only one place where they where working? What kind of luxury is that? I have to go through 2 construction things nearly every day and I'm only going for 20-25km...
 
@Arperum It was about a 30 mile stretch.
 
@Wipqozn You can drive stage coaches as well.
 
2:24 PM
@Wipqozn This was only about 7 years ago. Old people can get married, too
 
I don't drive on 70, ever. UD is just up 75 from my house, and the exit is just before the construction zone starts. Thank God.
 
@Sterno That's pretty bad yea.
 
@Sterno Oh, you haven't been married that long. For some reason I thought you've been married for ten years.
 
Cincinnati is pretty bad with construction too. I think there's a large portion of 75 towards downtown that's a 45 zone for construction still - for the past couple years.
 
\o/ I am in orbit!
 
2:26 PM
Honestly I don't remember how long I've been married.
2009!
So, 4 years, I guess
 
Is your daughter your first child?
 
@Unionhawk Plus, Ohio already had a strike against it because the speed limit drops from 70 to 65 when I cross from the Indiana border.
@Wipqozn yes
That I know of.
 
@Sterno Oh, my word. For some reason I was under the impression you had more than one child.
Maybe I was getting you confused with @Agent86.
 
You're thinking of @agent86
 
@Sterno Yeah... I'm used to that though.
 
2:28 PM
Morning, Bridge
 
70 roads are a luxury to me.
 
And the cops would sit just over the border. So I'd be flying in at 80mph from Indiana (because 10 over usually won't get you pulled over), then have to drop to 65 for the next 20 miles or so, which roughly took me to Dayton, and then drop to about 20mph average due to all the construction for 30 more miles.
Thus, irrational hate for Dayton.

Q: Where, how and when I can aqure HM's?

iberI have HM Strenght and HM Cut. I would love to fly around this new beautiful world but I'm curious when it will be possible. Any help?

 
@Sterno The rule I have heard (and have never been pulled over while following) is you have a maximum of about 15 over, but that limit goes down as the overall speed limit goes up (you can't go 80 in a 65, but 50 in a 35 is usually fine)
60 in a 35, however...
But, no, I don't have to drive through the Dayton construction, ever. So it's not terrible.
 
@Unionhawk My experience has been the opposite. The lower the limit, the less tolerance they have for speeding
 
2:33 PM
Miles are a stupid unit. Try using the same as the rest of the whole goddamn world.

@Sterno It... depends. I've gotten away with 50 in a 35 frequently, in a neighborhood where the cops have literally nothing to do.
 
Miles per hour is an imperial unit of speed expressing the number of statute miles covered in one hour. It is currently the standard unit used for speed limits, and to express speeds generally, in many countries throughout the world. These include roads in the United Kingdom, the United States, American Samoa, the Bahamas, Belize, British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Grenada, Guam, Myanmar, The N. Mariana Islands, Samoa, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, St. Helena, St. Kitts & Nevis, Turks & Caicos Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands,Antigua ...
It ain't just the US
 
@5pike I prefer Fahrenheit over Celsius
 
> Miles per hour are also used in the Canadian rail system.
 
2:35 PM
Kelvin is the only true unit for temperatures
4
 
My temperature scale is composed of "Too fucking cold to go outside, wear a coat, wear pants, wear shorts, too fucking hot to go outside"
 
Sep 5 at 15:39, by OrigamiRobot
in my dream temperature scale, 0 would be freezing and 100 would be a reasonably agreed upon "hot"
 
@Sterno My temperature scale is composed of "Too fucking cold to go outside" and "I'm abroad"
 
DD/MM/YYYY is the stupidest format for dates.
 
@OrigamiRobot it's not
 
2:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot Best format would be YYYY/MM/DD
 
It is
@Arperum Agree
 
@OrigamiRobot Is not
 
YYYY/DD/MM is the worst format.
 
@Arperum this is the best
@StrixVaria this is the worst
 
@StrixVaria Agreed.
 
2:41 PM
@5pike Month/day/year actually makes a lot of sense once you realize the origin behind it.
 
@OrigamiRobot Having edited wikipedia, I'm actually fond of DD Month YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY is bad though
 
any format where day comes before month is worse
Unless the month is written out
 
@Unionhawk When writing out the month name, I use Month DD, YYYY
 
It was meant to mimic the way dates were expressed in language, i.e. "November 12, 1980"
 
@Wipqozn We say 12 November 1980 here.
 
2:42 PM
@Wipqozn Outside of this area, they actually don't say it that way.
 
DD.MM.YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD are reasonable date formats, anything where the day is in the middle is inacceptable and just plain confusing
5
 
Or in cultures where you read right to left. Then DD/MM/YYY is best.
 
@Wipqozn Well, in German the order is Day - Month - Year
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, but they used to, hence why it makes sense when you realize the origin.
 
@OrigamiRobot Not the stupidest by far; ask the old Romans (random 400-odd days year because you happened to change your calendar? Thanks, Gaius Julius!). Still, I just use YYYYMMDD (or YYYY-MM-DD if I happen to have the space) for most dates.
 
2:42 PM
I prefer DD/MM/YYYY myself.
 
To be fair, no one gave a shit what day it was back then.
 
@MadScientist That is contradictory to no end. Or it is acceptable to be in the middle or it is not.
 
Just saying that American way isn't some moronic arbitrary decision people make it out to be.
 
DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY, not a mix between the two delimiters, THAT is when it gets confusing.
 
There was a good reason behind the structure.
 
2:43 PM
Having the day first means the first number you read narrows it down to 12 places throughout the year.
This is silly.
 
@Arperum Yeah, I mixed something up there
 
Can I complain about using commas as a decimal point in numbers?
 
@Wipqozn There is always a somewhat logical reason behind things
 
I'm partial to MMXIII LVII/CCCLXV
 
FAE
2:44 PM
@Sterno I've lived in the EU for over 6.5 years now but this still messes me up sometimes.
 
I like the ISO date format and always use it in filenames because it gets sorted in some sensible way automatically
 
@Sterno No
 
@3ventic Very well. I shall not complain about how stupid 100,13 looks.
 
1,5 = one and a half.
dots don't belong in numbers
 
Commas separate magnitudes of 1000.
 
2:46 PM
Is in English windows calc a dot or a comma?
 
@StrixVaria spaces are good enough for that.
 
a million is either 1000000 or 1 000 000
 
1,000,000.00
 
With YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS, each number gets you an increasingly more precise time within the previous numbers' frame. It's perfect.
 
1000000,00
 
2:47 PM
@3ventic that would be 1.000.000,00, points as seperators
 
No separators is the way to go
 
FAE
@3ventic Then it's really hard to eyeball
 
@3ventic up to say 10000?
 
@3ventic Separators are useful. Then you can tell what 100,000,000,000 is versus trying to determine what 100000000000 is
or with spaces. either way
 
You know what's also stupid?
 
2:49 PM
That the British think pants mean underpants.

@3ventic I'm sure @StrixVaria will have a number of answers to this.
 
Long and short scales in names of big numbers
 
@3ventic Ugh
 
2:49 PM
Oct 11 at 16:03, by OrigamiRobot
@kalina underpants go under pants. It's right there in the name. Under. Pants.
@3ventic Meaning?
 
@3ventic That Unicode still doesn't have a unified "radix point" symbol?
 
The first time I heard "milliard" means "billion", and if you're counting using "milliard" then "billion" really means "trillion", I almost had a stroke.
 
@OrigamiRobot Trillion in short scale = billion in long scale
 
Oh, that...
I never knew what that was called.
 
SHORT SCALE 4 LYFE
 
FAE
2:52 PM
@StrixVaria This is how it is in Dutch and it threw me off a lot when I first learned.
 
I still have no idea which scale my country uses
Then again, I never talk about big numbers in my language so I don't really care
 
I can always tell Finnish because every letter is doubled up and there's about 30% too many vowels.
 
The only large scale unit I've ever cared about it Jigawatts. Specifically, 1.21 jigawatts.
 
No
Billiard is not a number.
 
Mhh... seems we us long scale.
 
2:55 PM
@OrigamiRobot indeed, cause english uses the short scale. French and dutch and plenty others use the long scale
 
I hate you all for making me know this.
 
@KevinvanderVelden French numbers don't matter.
Ten Twenty Thirty Forty Fifty Sixty Sixtyten -"What?" Four twenties -"France, stop it" Four twenties and ten -"France you're drunk"
5
 
@StrixVaria WHAT?
 
@5pike yes, the french are insane
 
2:56 PM
French doesn't have numbers for 70, 80, or 90.
They just start combining lower numbers.
 
@5pike That's French counting. Annoys me to no end.
 
1 min ago, by OrigamiRobot
I hate you all for making me know this.
 
This shocks me
 
Not only is that whole thing stupid, it's even stupid within their stupid little system. Why not use "Three Thirties" as 90?
 
You guys didn't know that?
Oh right, you're not Canadian.
 
2:59 PM
Because it's so fun to say "quatre-vingt dix".

Time to go home... Later guys/girls
Jesus... the French...
 
@RedRiderX I've had that for years, was in the labs section first. It's great.
 
@BenBrocka Yeah I imagined it might have been around for a while, but I've never really needed it before.
But it really saved me just now.
 
yesterday, by Wipqozn
France is the worst.
I now know why France attacked me, they were jealous of my numbers!

@GnomeSlice How many Skydrifts?
 
3:26 PM
@Sterno I'm not going to answer these anymore, sorry.
 
@Sterno I was unaware that Skydrift was a unit of measurement.
Is this like the Hitler measurement?
like Stalin was 3.6 hitlers or something?
 
Oct 7 at 17:23, by Sterno
@MichaelDunfield I hereby propose that you give all other game recommendations with a score of "How many Skydrifts is it?"
I don't know how "incredible" stacks up to "amazing".
@MichaelDunfield, I mean @GnomeSlice, has vetoed the system though.

Q: In GTA Online, how do i put an emblem on my car/clothes?

FistOfFuryI designed an emblem on the rockstar social club website and published it. It's been a few days (I know it can take several days to process), but it's not obvious to me how to find this emblem in game. When i go to clothing store/mod shop my crew emblem just looks like a yellow checkerboard. ...

 
@Sterno agreed. Sounds like Steam-controlled beta testing.
 
@ken.ganong I don't think Steam controls it much at all
 
Holy crap Firefox is fast compared to Chrome
switch in progress
 
It just throws off my normal process of game discovery and acquisition. I don't want to buy or play it when it's half-finished. But then a year later when it finishes, it doesn't have the same fanfare as when it's released, and a lot of stuff about it has already been discovered.
 
Firefox is also crap compared to Chrome
 
3:38 PM
I like to play games while they're still new.
 
@Sterno I agree that games should be released as full products, not when they're still being made
unless they have a certain longevity like Minecraft
 
To be clear, I'm not saying they're bad for doing it or anything. It just fit my game consumption pattern.
Well, it still fits the "buy the game but never play it" pattern.

@3ventic Firebug is good. That alone makes firefox worth it.
 
@Arperum Firefox doesn't send cookies on ajax which is forcing me to rewrite a whole system :(
 
@fredley Get Firebug extension, it is THE most important extension for any bit of webdeveloper.
Work is over, I'm switching pc's, be back in a bit.
 
3:42 PM
It's particularly problematic for me with bug-ridden games like Might and Magic X. A style of game I would very much like, but the early access is nothing but complaints of bugs and UI problems and whatnot. I am now pretty wary of this game when it releases, even if the issues are fixed.

Q: Can Steam tell me when I have a game installed on another computer or in another OS?

SparrDoes Steam know, and will it tell me, if I am installing a game that I already have installed elsewhere on the same account? In particular, I don't want to install the same games in Windows and OSX and Linux on the same computer, but more generally I'd want to avoid installing games without cloud...

@Sterno I killed the Titanite Demon last night
 
3:59 PM
@OrigamiRobot It is weird you mention this since I was just reading an email from a friend saying he's going to try to finish Dark Souls tonight.
eyes @OrigamiRobot warily
Also, by the Titanite Demon, you mean a Titanite Demon.
 
@Sterno ssshhh, don't ruin the surprise
 
But that means you made it over the bridge!
or past the boar. or whatever
I found Titanite Demons really easy to kill unless I got impatient and tried to finish them quickly. Which is what almost always happened.
 
I got the Balder Side Sword (which made @Fluttershy mad) and I am loving it.

Less than a week to new phoenix wright. \o/
 
I had just put like 3 points in Str before I found it :(
 
Both times I played through Dark Souls I pumped Endurance up to 40 first
It probably isn't the best strategy, but I hated running out of stamina or moving slowly.
 
My endurance is like 18 and my dex is 20
strength is 16 which will let me use the black knight shield which i think I want
 
@Sterno Stamina is really, really important.
 
Actually, the first time I played, I pretty much just used the Drake Sword and Havel's Armor
That sword was awesome for the first 80% of the game and shit for the last 20%
But it was too late for me to put stat points anywhere useful
The second time I did a strength build and basically roflstomped everything
Except for poisonous rats. I hate poisonous rats. They always get a bite in on me.
 
4:07 PM
I need to start playing this
 
I really need to get around to play Demon's Souls

Q: What happens if you install a Steam game to a removable drive?

UllallullooWhat happens if you install a game to an external drive and then remove it? Does the game just not work if you try to start it? Does it get "uninstalled" according to Steam? Does Steam have serious problems? What if you plug it back in later? Does it work easily, or does it take a lot of work?

Q: how to poison self? or to self shoot arrow or hit weapon?

Aquarius PowerI got a weak poison that has healing properties! I play with Requiem mod so any healing source is acceptable xD. But I cant find a way to poison self.. I tried to shoot arrow upwards (and use a shield and high armor class of course) but it wont hit self.. May be poison some deployable weak ...

 
@OrigamiRobot Or this one
We both got a stupid amount of rep from that question.
 
@OrigamiRobot I wasn't mad that you got a Balder Side Sword. I said a friend of mine would be mad because he spent like two hours farming for one. I have a claymore +10. I don't care about your balder side sword!

@Powerlord YES
 
@Sterno Blizzard has clearly corrupted your mind.
Quick, someone show @Sterno some Pokemon or something.
 
4:37 PM
@Fluttershy It's ok, I forgive you.
 
@Powerlord To determine the validity of your opinion, I must ask, have you ever purchased a TF2 hat? If so, I shall reject your opinion! If not, I shall accept your opinion!
 
The only money I've spent on TF2 was buying it. Remember when you used to have to do that?
 
@Sterno Yes, but TF2 didn't get widely panned in reviews when it came out and was considered inferior to the previous game in the series.
 
I also remember the week where Rogue Legacy was fun.
 
@Sterno That sure went by quickly, didn't it?
 
4:39 PM
@Powerlord Indeed.
 
Speaking of TF2... it's about time Valve injected more fun into it. Something other than more hats.
TF2 must have gained an additional 200 hats so far this year already
 
Team Hatress 2
 
@3ventic The problem is that, although Valve did some weapon rebalancing, there have been 0 weapons introduced in 2013.
Zero. None. Nada
 
Maybe new weapons would make me want to play more.
I hate hats.
 
@Powerlord really? huh
