@Jin :(
 
Jin

Q: Minecraft pc game 1.7.4 doesn't start

Morganpurchased new laptop for xmas and loaded game from purchased game card. after log-in Minecraft Launcher 1.3.7 screen appears with Minecraft News at top. I have hit Play at middle of screen bottom and it loads but then nothing happens

 
@Jin we should ban going outside, can't you or @badp modabuse something?
 
@KevinvanderVelden we've already tried putting a LAZER shooting earth scorching mothership out there. It doesn't seem to be foolproof.
 
@Lazers I'm beginning to agree with @FEichinger, we should just block any and all new minecraft questions -,-
 
Jin
I mean, I can see Outside as a DLC for those who desire it... but shouldn't be in the main campaign...
 
@Jin Yeah forced PvP is always a bummer too.
 
6:05 PM
@Jin I hear you. I hate those unlocking and locking minigames you have to do every time you're forced outdoors.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I never said that, and I don't think that.
 
and then there's the exploration part without as much as a minimap or an objective marker.
 
Jin
^ i'd go outside if I can find that mod
 
We just need a coordinated effort to dupe them all to their respective dupe target.
 
@FEichinger Well I'm saying it then! BAN ALL MINECRAFT!
 
6:07 PM
@Jin Would you take the speed debuff for that though?
 
Jin
@badp depends on what types of mobs I'm fighting I guess.
 
If you travel light you can minimize the amount of time spent under direct sun-/moonlight.
 
Jin
but too bad everything in the Outside is done via in game purchase, which is lame.
 
@Jin yeah, why can't I spend my reps into groceries? Fuck bitcoins, reps is where it's at.
 
Also, I missed more drama? sadface
 
6:08 PM
@Jin well it's still better than having OP pay-to-win mechanics
 
@KevinvanderVelden Have you seen the high tier item market?
 
Jin
@KevinvanderVelden unfortunately P2W is the model for many regions already.
 
wait, Outside has 7 billions of "active" players? that's earth population...
 
Jin
^ look at players plead with devs to stop all the hacking.
 
For the first time ever, I now want to delete an online account of mine
 
6:12 PM
@FEichinger see the good side, you are early for the next ;)
 
@Braiam Where's the good side to that?! Just means I'll have to wait longer.
 
and the winner for the Oh God Please Stop Having My Data I Cannot Take It Any More prize is: Foursquare!
 
Jin
@badp I only use 4square to keep track of which restaurant I ate at when traveling
 
OH NOES ALL THE THINGS I WILL LOSE
 
6:15 PM
@badp SO MANY THINGSSSSS
 
are the biweekly reminders of a random person on the internet who sent me a fucking friend request
 
How can you live with yourself after losing all that?!
 
> We do not 'delete' or 'terminate' accounts on ACC. If you no longer wish to use the site, you may delete all personal information from your profile and then stop logging in.
WUT?
 
@Braiam I normally am perfectly okay with this
I don't think it makes sense to delete accounts on the internet.
 
@RedRiderX my sentence is not incorrect
I did step away from my PC
and now I AM BACK at my PC

so we lost a chat user?
due to him asking a controversial question and getting destroyed by Community?
 
@kalina We lost a person-we-were-all-almost-about-to-manually-hellban.
 
...unless you do stop using them they keep poking for you to get back
 
ponders
That means, all we need, is a hit squad of people to offensive flag new users posts to drive them away!
I CHOOSE YOU, @BADP
 
@kalina User felt the need to post a controversial question for the sake of posting a controversial question.
 
6:18 PM
@kalina did we?
 
@badp well, he said he was leaving and never coming back
 
@FEichinger What? Who?

i am done today with this community. apparently i am offensive even if i did not flame any1 nor program any game and just asked a question to a game while some1 just calls names get 30 min ban, not a day like i did last time noooo

6:19 PM
Is this a valid reason?
 
oh
 
@JeffreyLin no
 
@JeffreyLin Not a close reason.
 
well, I guess I was being overly optimistic
 
that's how I read it.
 
6:19 PM
thanks for shattering my dreams
 
downvote and move on
 
@kalina wait why? What did he ask?
 
@JeffreyLin Downvote.

:(
 
@spugsley Something about some sandy hook elementary game for the sake of being controversial
 
6:20 PM
@spugsley he asked about some flash game that was made about a school shooting where you play as the shooter
 
@FEichinger I think she wanted something more specific than that.
 
@3ventic ohhh ok
 
Oh, did you guys chase Wandang away? =[
 
oh right
 
@Fluttershy I'm looking for the other quote. The one I linked on the question.
 
6:20 PM
you're not 10k yet

@spugsley he asked about some flash game that was made about a school shooting where you play as the shooter
 
@ElfSlice that's an interesting way to put it
 
@ElfSlice I thought his name was Wangdang. Now I like him less :/
 
@Unionhawk I've played that game. It's pretty disturbing.
 
6:21 PM
everybody upvote @spugsley so she gets to 10k
 
I think @spugsley's already had her share of the day with spider snakes
 
she is a poster of high quality content that deserves 40 upvotes per question/answer
 
@kalina ATTACK OF THE BROKEN KEYBOARDD
 
@kalina Oh dear Jesus, there's a game called Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary?

@Unionhawk Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory

@kalina :3
 
There we go.
That's what I was looking for.
 
@Yuki Flash games are a dime a dozen.
 
6:22 PM
@Yuki Yeah, that's about the reaction of the rest of us
 
For the record, I played it, and I can appreciate what the developer was trying to do.
It made me want to read up on gun control legislature in Canada.
 
ban @ElfSlice, he said he played it
 
Okay, as offensive as that is, that doesn't warrant downvotes.
 
SHUN
 
Mostly because that's not what downvotes are used for.
 
6:23 PM
seriously, who flagged that?
 
@Yuki yeah but we can't tell people what and what not to downvote
it's entirely subjective
 
what she said ^
 
@Yuki Here's the thing: I think the exact opposite of that.
 
@Braiam Bunch of people, from what I understand.
 
Jin
wasn't there a game a while back on JFK assassination where you play the assassin?
 
6:23 PM
@FEichinger thus, proving my point :3
 
Jin
I remember it was pretty controversial
 
The guy who made that sandy hook game also made one about Columbine
 
The question itself doesn't break policy. Sure, the game is bullshit, but at the end of the day, it's a game and the question itself is reasonably innocent.
 
In all honesty, he should have taken it to meta
 
What pissed me off about the question was the intention for posting it in the first place.
 
6:24 PM
I wouldn't have flagged it as offensive
there are many equally offensive things
but since he chose to throw a tantrum and launch his toys all over the place... *shrug*
 
And, with knowing that intention, I feel the question warrants all the downvotes.
 
The Sandy Hook game made me cry
 
@FEichinger here's the thing... the spam/offensive flags also downvotes ;)
 
It was scary
 
@Braiam As I said, I didn't think it warrants flags - or deletion, for that matter.
 
6:25 PM
@FEichinger yeah, but hey, the flag is a super downvote ;)
 
@FEichinger but it sounds like he had an attitude instead of talking it out like a normal person. Which I think is the real problem
 
Are people seriously questioning what other people can and can't find offensive right now?
 
@Fluttershy no
 
@Fluttershy Not really, no.
 
@Fluttershy not at all :) We've already talked about subjectivity.
 
6:26 PM
@spugsley Definitely. The usual post-action tantrum and all.
 
@FEichinger right
 
We've had several people here in chat in the last few days who have started to sound an awful lot like NOYB.
 
@Fluttershy however, while this particular game subject is touchy, in more general terms, there are many games with lots of content that could be deemed offensive by various people
(do not take the above as saying the actual subject we're talking about is not offensive)
 
@Frank who dat?
 
@spugsley Don't enable him
 
6:27 PM
@kalina Did they ever take their case to meta?
 
O_o
 
@Frank Gotta agree with you there.
 
> This question contains content that a reasonable person would deem inappropriate for respectful discourse.
 
@RedRiderX no (not that I've checked)
 
@kalina Ah okay
 
6:28 PM
@Braiam Don't. Get. Me. Started. On. This.
Please just don't.
 
@spugsley The owner of our most heavily downvoted Meta post, and other Meta gems.
 
That would not end well.
 
@RedRiderX no (I just checked)
 
I honestly don't know if the -100 rep hit was deserved. I can see the message the game wanted to get across - you have 11 minutes and a weapon, what are you going to do with them? - and there is nothing in the content policy about violence.
 
I don't critique the intentions, but the post itself don't warranted the flag
 
6:28 PM
Including his rage "quit"
 
@kalina Ah well then.
 
@kalina I agree. But the idea that a game about a very recent incident in which 26 people, 20 of whom were children between the ages of 5 and 10, doesn't deserve offensive flags baffles me.
 
If you guys want to know more about that Sandy Hook game, and what the developer was trying to do, read this article about it
 
I can see why it has been flagged to oblivion, but I don't know if I would've done the same.
 
It's a pretty disturbing game, but it's a pretty serious subject.
 
6:28 PM
@Fluttershy I did not state at any time that I disagree with other people flagging it, I merely said that I wouldn't have
 
@Frank oh. I must have been not super active on the site while this was going down
 
@Fluttershy Nobody (well, at least I didn't) said it doesn't deserve flags.
 
@badp For the record, I didn't flag, nor downvote that question.
Is it tasteless? Yup. Is it a valid question? Seems so.
 
Just that it doesn't warrant them. It doesn't need to be flagged.
 
4 mins ago, by FEichinger
@Braiam As I said, I didn't think it warrants flags - or deletion, for that matter.
 
6:29 PM
since I don't live in America, the subject isn't as close to my heart
from my point of view, you're a country that allows people to have guns that is complaining about gun crime
 
@Fluttershy There's a difference between "deserves" and "warrants".
 
In my opinion the question is pretty tasteless. If you're playing that game to get all the endings, you're playing it wrong.
 
If others find it offensive, though, definitely aren't going to argue about it.
 
@Fluttershy I don't think I can agree with that. There's always going to be a recent accident until you change your stance on gun control, I'm sorry.
 
One of them makes the flag obligatory. The other doesn't.
 
6:30 PM
I am, however, not going to go out of my way to upset anybody by saying being offended by such incidents is unwarranted, because that isn't the case
 
it's pretty tragic stuff
 
I can see why people would flag it. Doesn't mean I have to flag it.
 
alrighty. I'm going out to shoot today (despite the cold and rain) so I'm out. BYE FOR NOW!
 
@spugsley Have fun. =]
 
6:31 PM
@badp I don't need to change my stance on gun control. The US does, but my stance is very firm, tyvm. That doesn't excuse this game or the crap that happened today.
 
@spugsley enjoy o/
 
@Fluttershy "you" as "you people in the US", not "you" personally; sorry. I also didn't say anybody needs to do anything.
 
@spugsley It's not cold.
> -29°C
Feels like -41
THAT is cold.
 
@Fluttershy I don't think anybody is targeting you personally with any of these statements
 
@badp Yes I see that now that I've re-read it and rationalized as opposed to being angry! >:(
 
6:32 PM
the people here atm are the reasonable arqadians, let's be friendly
 
@kalina To be clear, you're lumping me in with the reasonable ones?
 
@Frank you can be reasonable, it depends how much sugar you've had
 
Sorry for getting huffy. I was parsing things poorly and speaking irrationally.
 
I never liked the english "you"; singular/plural matters.
 
@kalina Ok, just wanted to clarify that.
 
6:34 PM
I don't think the game is about what you guys think it's about
 
user in question obviously wanted to cause controversy, he succeeded, he threw a tantrum after the community as a whole reacted to it, I don't think we're any worse off
 
Oh the only part I'm disappointed with in the whole rigmarole is LPMF
 
what did he say to get banned?
WTB ROOM OWNER AND LINK
(or somebody pasting content into chat)
 
b/o 14 keys
 
6:35 PM
Now that's controversy!
 
@ElfSlice I find this question offensive
 
@kalina Why?
Well yeah it's pretty dumb
 
I duno
I'm not really offended
I'm just seeing how many people blindly downvote it
 
@kalina He compared the user in question to a "controversy-mongering piece of shit."
 
@kalina I don't think he got banned.
 
6:37 PM
@Frank he got a 30 minute auto ban I think
@Fluttershy -.-
 
Unless I'm reading the wrong part of the transcript.
 
well, he should know better
 
when I play a game I don't give a crap about the intentions of the author other than allowing me to test my abilities a evening against their wits
 
@ElfSlice grats
 
@kalina Oh, he did. But he didn't care. And I support him in his statement. :P
 
6:37 PM
@Frank LPMF did, yes.
 
he is well known for just saying what he's thinking with no filtering though
 
@FEichinger Oh, that. Yeah, I saw that.
He's definitely blunt, and I can see how that would be validated.
 
@badp Yeah.
 
I have no problem with somebody just saying what's on their mind
 
@kalina Unless it's me?
 
6:38 PM
I do it all the time, it would be hypocritical of me to take offence to it
@ElfSlice I don't think I've ever actually flagged you, with the exception of the truckers delight thing
and in that instance, I only validated the flag
 
I guess that one deserved it.
It does have some pretty nasty shit in it
 
Yes it did.
Yes it does.
 
heh...
 
Yes it does.
 
inb4
 
6:39 PM
Yes it does.
DAMMIT
 
it wasn't inb4, I copied what you said
 
INB4
 
sets fire to @Unionhawk
 
@Unionhawk DENIED ... or something ... I dunno.
OH FOR GOD'S SAKE, @KALINA.
 
sets fire to @FEichinger
 
6:40 PM
I don't think Wadang's question was in very good taste. The game isn't meant to be entertaining.
So I can see why people could have been offended.
 
oh yes, I got a revival badge after there's no meaning about it...
 
It's one of those topics you don't fuck with
 
Yeh, yeh, love you, too. >.>
 
Are we setting fire to people again?
 
that's like cheap plastic imitation fire
 
6:40 PM
I can't do that until I agree with @Sterno, and I haven't done that in awhile.
 
@FEichinger STRANGE WAY OF SHOWING IT

Q: Why is Xbox one so overpriced?

user65955The xbox one is so overpriced I've seen one on eBay w/ 3 games for 1,500-2,000 dollars! Who pays that much? My xbox 360 was only 250 dollars.

 
@kalina AT LEAST I'M NOT SETTING FIRE TO PEOPLE ALL THE TIME!
 
@badp I set so many people on fire last year that I levelled up. Now I can dual wield fire
 
@Lazers because you need to fill M$ pockets!
 
6:41 PM
@Lazers lol
 
Also, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY COLD TODAY!

Try?
 
wait, you could change community hats but not the avatar?
 
@Braiam xbox one is actually sold at a very minor profit
 
Make sepia lazers into that guy then
Something needs that as an avatar
 
we're talking ~1% markup
 
6:43 PM
@kalina From retail.
 
@kalina I heard the first editions of the PS3 were actually sold at a loss.
 
@kalina I know sarcasm is difficult to read ;(
 
From eBay...not so much.
 
@kalina Shh, let him be in his own little world
 
@ElfSlice same with the PS4
 
6:43 PM
I guess they make all their money on games.
and subscription services
 
and peripherals
 
The "MICRO$OFT LOL" people entertain me.
 
It's pretty common to sell consoles at a loss on launch
 
GET IN THERE, ONE MORE DELETE VOTE NEEDED
fastest ever closure and deletion
Delete team: go
COUNTER TERRORISTS WIN
 
@kalina not really
 
6:44 PM
@kalina Need 9K more rep.
 
they are learning from HP's printers... the profit is in the cartridges!
 
@3ventic probably isn't tbh
@Frank try answering questions instead of deleting them! :p
 
@kalina nah, AU has that record of 2 mins deletion
 
Seen a question deleted in 10 seconds after posting
 
@Braiam AU is not arqade
 
6:45 PM
Also, I downloaded an english fan translation of Valkyria Chronicles 3. I am tempted to start it, and have yet another game in my to-play list.
 
but that was a programming question on MSO
 
@kalina exactly my point ;)
 
It's not hard to delete content when your site is full of shit low quality content
cough cough AU cough
 
:O
 
@kalina Now, now.
We all know AU is a mess.
No need to pretend it wasn't.
 
6:46 PM
meh, didn't you read me rambling about it in every meat post?
 
mmmm, meat posts.
 
@Braiam I stopped using AU after they had a go at me for explaining the purpose of offensive/spam flags
 
At the current rate of 4 fires per day, @kalina will have set 1460 fires by the end of the year.
 
merely?
 
The entirety of last year was merely around 100 fires.
 
6:50 PM
I spent a large portion of last year deleted
I say large
I mean like 15%
 
I spent a larger portion banned.
Not that it's a contest.
 
this is true
 
I cried when I got banned.
 
you haven't been banned in a while
 
For like a week
 
6:50 PM
what's going on?
 
I spent a larger portion on status-yet-to-join-the-community.
 
GNOME WINS. BANALITY.
 
@3ventic hey I joined the community after you! ;)
 
That's the bad pun of the month I guess
 
@kalina Rejoined*
 
6:51 PM
@kalina I told you guys, I'm being more careful about what I post now. Obviously arguing with people about why I do or don't find something I post offensive is pointless and just makes everybody angry, so it's easier to just not post things people might get upset about.
 
no
there is no proof
 
@badp I think of the year... and we only have 6 days of this
 
@badp @badpun

@Braiam don't get a head of yourself.
 
@kalina EXCUSES!
 
6:52 PM
Clearly I'm the best because I still have my hat
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@ElfSlice Still no doge hat
 
@FEichinger Seems she's slowing down.
 
I think I'll ban myself and go for pizza.
 
@ElfSlice Yes a Santa hat in Jan. is the best plan.
:P
 
6:52 PM
I am not worthy to wear the Doge hat.
 
I think we should all just agree that me coming back was the best thing that ever happened, and move on
 
Doge hat is an object of legend
 
@ElfSlice isn't those items everyone wants?
 
WHAT? NO AGREEMENTS?
screw you guys, I'm deleting my account
 
6:53 PM
@kalina Patience, dear.
 
@Braiam Everyone wants, but only legendary heroes can obtain.
 
@kalina agreeing is optout, but only when convenient for the purposes of my argument
 
@badp ooh, I like this
 
such as in this case
 
6:53 PM
 
by default, everybody agrees
 
@kalina I dunno about best, but it certainly ranked up there.
 
He even used the same letters in his username
@RedRiderX YOU ARE A GOD
 
Along with the account deletion in the first place.
 
@Frank this is possibly the nicest thing you've ever said to me
 
6:54 PM
Silence is agreement
 
@Frank and this is probably the most horrible
 
@kalina What about me coming back?
 
@kalina It's possibly also the nicest thing he's ever said to anyone.
 
@kalina So, status quo, then?
 
you've got an unnatural gift for making me love you and hate you in the space of a second

6:54 PM
@ElfSlice I do what I can.
Including hacking the CSSs
 
@kalina As long as we've got a happy medium, I can be content.
 
So not quite a god, but still.
 
@RedRiderX Oh, you actually did that? I assumed it was just photoshop.
@RedRiderX Awesome.
 
@ElfSlice Yes I actually did that.
 
Because if it swings too far in one direction, unnatural things happen.
 
6:56 PM
@RedRiderX what you mean by "that"?
 
somebody delete this, assylum is being an ass

Eh, I wouldn't call that 'being an ass' as much as 'being confrontational'
 
@ElfSlice same difference
 
I said 'meh' about the comment
 
Fine
 
since when are jokes unwelcome in the comment area?
 
6:57 PM
Did somebody delete poop?
 
well fine, I say meh about your meh
 
@ElfSlice wait, I assumed we all were jackasses? was I wrong?
 
now we're in a meh loop
 
Queue rant about censorship in 3, 2, 1...
 
@badp It's more the "close reason is bullshit" part, I suppose.
 
6:57 PM
@Braiam I try my best to be nice to everyone, but I can't speak for everyone else.
 
@FEichinger followed by ':P', come on.
 
For the record, I didn't even flag that comment.
 
@badp User history tells me that's not a joke.
 
For the record, you've for the record'd twice in the last 30 minutes
 
I'll delete the post so he doesn't notice maybe.
 
6:58 PM
for the record
 
I'm with @badp on this one, what was the big deal?
 
But I have nothing to do with the comment disappearing. Heck, I haven't done anything about the question.
 
Yep, what @fei said
 
wait, didn't someone already started VtD?
 
I didn't vote to close it as opinion based :(

Q: Over Powered Death Trap?

Shadow ZorgonSo, me and my friends were playing some Borderlands 2, and we decided to go battle Master Gee the Invincible. Upon starting the battle, I summoned Death Trap, and he shot a lightning bolt which dealt 8999999K DMG per 1/5 second even after he died. We tried it again, and the same thing happened. ...

 
@3ventic I hate it when it says you voted for a reason you didn't vote for.
 
(FWIW, the close reason could've just been "unclear" instead. Subjective is ... well, I'm not fully seeing it either.)
 
@badp Did you get past that Valdis Story boss?
 
6:59 PM
@ElfSlice Yup!
 
@badp Awesome. ;]
 
I was thinking to write an answer about the boss phases and spell slots and what not.
 
@FEichinger (FWIW, it's deleted, so it's not worth anything)
