Q: Dwarf Fortress Character and Graphics Sets

@AshleyNunn ugh

I was like...WHY

What are clear, intuitive tile sets that help beginning players understand what all is on the map? Tiles are spread across two different sets: character sets are the ASCII and graphics sets are the creatures.

Isn't this some kind of list question thing?

So, does anyone in here actually still watch Once Upon a Time, or is it just me now?

You clearly need one of those

Damn. I have a school folder which is over 3GB large. I probably have another one somewhere too.

Do you lose any Dreams... progress if you go to the Mirror Marches?

@ElfSlice If you want Motor Rock on Steam, I'd pick it up before Steam receives the CnD from Blizzard and has to pull it!

@Fluttershy Why? You think they will?

@ElfSlice Most likely. It's pretty much a straight rip-off of Rock'n'Roll Racing, right down to the announcer, music, and several art assets.

8:23 PM

@Fluttershy Yeah but they didn't use the name or whatever right?

@ElfSlice Not for the Steam release. But it still has a bunch of licensed music and copyrighted material in it!

For the new Christmas Heist, a new bank has been added: Go Bank. I'm trying to work my way through this bank stealth and Bain is telling me I need to search cars to find keycards for the vault. Now, the bank is surrounded by cars - both in front of the bank and behind the bank, I have opened al...

In NMS_Ransack, there is a message in the bathroom of the grocery store stating clearly: Water infects people.

Q: What is the lava bucket used for?

0

Once you beat the Nether you receive a Lava Bucket. It has no use apparently. It is used lately? Can I get more beating the Nether again? Can I try to mix it to make potions?

Q: Do silencers reduce the amount of damage that guns do?

0

I see that on the gun stats that adding a suppressor on any gun reduces both the range and the damage bar what does it actually do to the guns performance?

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know, but @FrostEngineer showed me a bit of it today and it is amazing

Q: Portal list available?

Is there a way to get a list of portals I own? I am trying to find out where all my portals are, so I can make sure I have keys when I need them, but I can't manually keep track of them all.

FAE

@AshleyNunn D: You must see the whole thing! It's got dancing mushrooms and hippos doing ballet and sugarplum fairies and omg. It's part of what made me start liking classical music as a kid. Also Night on Bald Mountain is amazing.

Also brooms

Also Leonard Bernstein.

10:14 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz wtf

FAE

I think Night on Bald Mountain + Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark are what instilled the feeling of somewhat creepy discomfort I have with horse skeletons to this day.

@ElfSlice Santacon is a Cool Party for Cool People from New Jersey and Long Island.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You said Santa Fight

^ Santa Fight.

The Santa Fight happened at the Santa Party, also known as Santacon, also known as "Dumb Bros from New Jersey Getting Drunk In The Snow in NYC and Not Getting Arrested Like They Ought To."

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's too bad I was in California when this happened.

Q: How do you shoot with the Panzer Tank in Commandos?

How do you shoot with the Panzer Tank? The enemies are able to shoot with it, yet clicking only moves the tank around. This is for Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.

@ElfSlice It's a bunch of drunk dudes in santa suits doing what drunk dudes do.

Which is to say, fight with each other and fall down a lot.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why?

@ElfSlice Santacon.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That sounds wholesome and friendly.

10:20 PM

Think St. Patricks Day, except instead of wearing green, all the douchey assholes are wearing santa suits instead.

@ElfSlice It is not wholesome and friendly.

It is a menace.

@LessPop_MoreFizz That means nothing to me I don't go out on St Patrick's Day. Also I'm Canadian, the worst that happens here is somebody drives over the curb.

@ElfSlice basically, santacon is an occasion in which all of the most horrible people on the planet - which is to say, rich over grown frat guy types who never really outgrew college, but now have lots of money and are of legal drinking age - dress up in Santa Suits, and starting around noon, go on a bar crawl across NYC and don't stop drinking until well past midnight.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why?

@ElfSlice because it's an excuse to dress up in a funny outfit and drink lots of beer. Do you think these people need more of an excuse than that?

@ElfSlice Because St. Patrick's Day only happens once a year.

I stopped caring about getting more hats when I got sock puppet.

Because honestly, Sock Puppet is The Perfect Hat For Me.

@LessPop_MoreFizz best hat for your gravatar

Today's Desura Winter Sale is actually a Steam sale because the five games on sale are Steam-only.

Which is kind of silly

You just get a steam code

Good prices though I guess. Telegiltch $3.25

@FEichinger do you need a "bug/glich" close reason?

@Braiam No.

It's a duplicate.

And the dupe target can remain.

The answer will be pretty similar to the other bug, that is "It's a bug, deal with it, they offer no proper support."

Good news! There was an update for the game pushed today! In the changelog: "Fixes loss of holiday decorations". Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again until the 26th! — Twitch_City 38 mins ago

But that's not a close reason.

And shouldn't be.

sounds like a bug :(

And then that comment should be an answer.

Was a bug, is fixed as of this update. Wheee. Happy cuddles.

We're trying to catch a thief on our server. Bukkit isn't an option for this server, so I'm hoping for advice that doesn't requires Bukkit plugins. In the worst case I could probably move the world files somewhere that Bukkit is an option. There are only 7 suspect players. INVEdit crashes when o...

Q: How accurate to real-life are the cities in the Assassin's Creed games?

even though it has a stupid hat on her face

@kalina According to the FAQ there are no site-specific hats this year.

@kalina Thanks!

Also, what the hell? Chat hats?

@Fluttershy Yep, they ... made it happen.

@Fluttershy At long last, @balpha has acquiesced to my unreasonable demands.

11:16 PM

Yayy! Now if only they'd make it so you could rotate the hats.

Then I could make this snorkel fit properly.

I only have two hats. I'm not only POOR but IRISH.

At the beggining of the game the Enchanting Shop says, if you don't have diamond sword: Enchanting Shop You can only enchant diamond and emerald sword, sorry :( Since the game is supposed to be complete, how can the Emerald Sword be found?
