I have quite a bit of old minecraft worlds lying around. With the new launcher, I understand I can create profiles for older versions of minecraft, give them their own folders, and copy the saves over to these.
I don't want to load a save with a newer version than it was made. That usually gives...
. @feichinger oh yeah. Loads. When I am not getting ignored I am getting yelled at. So I have claimed a couch corner and am playing Yoshi's New Island.
In Stan's room on the floor there is this invitation to the annual blood orgy,followed by some arrows.
The arrows are obviously directions but from where to start ?
A discussion on the Arqade sister site brought up an interesting question that I thought I'd share here.
What is the difference between a quest and a mission? Given the roots of the words, quest from the latin quaerere (to ask/seek), and mission from the latin mittere (to send).
It seems tha...
@DavidM well my issue is that I don't like to ask questions. I can either find the information on google or it's not that important to me to be asked on a forum. It's different in a chat though, because I feel like the information gets moved so much that a small question or two in chat won't do any harm.

@yuki oh man yeah. So far it is just family but even then I am like...so the odd one out.
@Chippies That doesn't stop anyone. Some of the highest rep people are not native English speakers. And, given that I had no idea based upon your chat in here, I wouldn't worry.
@DavidM yeah, I know there are some people that will ask questions regardless if they even care about the answer -cough- @GnomeSlice -cough- rep hoarders
I just usually want the answer to my question immediately, so I either look it up on google or I forget about it. Sometimes I have the attention span of a goldfish...
In Uplink, the later gateways have space for 3-4 security systems, but there's only two security systems available (motion sensor and self destruct). Having both security systems is useful so you can detect activity and nuke your gateway, but is there any advantage to having more than one of each...
for most Latvians, English is their third language, and the older generations probably didn't learn it until later years, so they can have horrible accent
I guess they would call themselves Latvians if the question was more of aimed at their nationality
but generally speaking they refer to themselves as Russians
I can't speak for all of them of course.
"when someone decides the most interesting part of their existence is where their parents decided to have sex, that is one horrible mess of a person" - random article on the internet
some people have a lot of pride for being Russians in Latvia, some Latvians have a lot of pride for being Latvians. I have none of that.
If you want to be pedantic:
A quest is where you set out to find something. King Arthur sent his knights out on a quest to find the holy grail.
A mission is where you set out to do something. King Arthur also sent a few knights out a mission to slay a dragon.
The difference had blurred over...
@DavidM So in this context, it would be a quest; you're sent on a quest to find this mysterious redguard woman because some mysterious redguard people want to find her because important reasons you don't need to know yet.
Yeah, it's crazy how patriotic, or whatever the right word for that is, people can be. But I guess some people have to be or else everything would collapse.
The Diablo RNG really hates me right now. I decided to try forging a Hellfire ring for the first time, and I killed the third keywarden 6 or 7 times now and I didn't get a single key
@Arperum The key should have a 25% chance to drop, I didn't calculate how unlikely it is to never get it in 6-7 tries, but I'm pretty sure I'm really damn unlucky
Help I can't find mjoll after I told her to go home
Here's what has happened that might have done something
I turned to werewolf form and and aerin was killed by a stray arrow from the guards
She joined the blades
She is nowheres to be found, not in riften not in sky haven temple not where I dis...
I am playing BG2:EE on the iPad, and its wonderful to relive some of the stories and battles that I have when I originally played it as a younger teen. With Anomen, I had forgotten that some quests are truly time sensitive, so he left the party while I was in the middle of exploring a dungeon, an...
@MadScientist for that same reason I played on the US server, even though at the time I lived in Europe. That's usually the reason why I play ANY online game on US servers...
@FAE 100? I don't think I've ever had 100 in an online game even within my country, much less my continent! 160-180 seems to be as low as it goes and I'm fine with that :)
@Chippies Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've ever had 100ms either... it's usually closer to what you say. Most of the stuff I play, it doesn't matter in, but I do notice a difference for online FPS play, unfortunately.
@Chippies If I connect to Dutch or German servers, I usually have a nice, low ping.
@FAE I guess lucky for me, I don't play competitive FPS games much, so I've never noticed that much of a lag. For most of the games, if it's under 200ms, I'm happy :) under 300 is playable with many games, but over that I'd rather not...
@FAE the thing is - there are no online game servers in Latvia, and there are no online game servers here in Newfoundland, so either way, I can't get a "local" server unless it's a home hosted one :P
@Chippies I don't play them either, they're not really my thing. I considered playing Defiance (an FPS MMO) but they were going for like "pixel precise" aiming as part of their whole gameplay spiel, and there was a really big difference in my play experience between trying EU servers and NA ones. All my friends would've been NA, so I decided to skip on it.
@Chippies I like co-op FPS stuff though, like L4D and such, so it can still end up mattering there.
@Chippies No, not a big desire to really. Friend of mine played it and when she told me about the amount of realtime it took to build frames, I was kind of meh on it (though admittedly that was back in beta).
@Chippies Honestly, I'm not very good at FPS games in general, and the ones I do like, I prefer kind of arcade style FPS (like Quake, Unreal Tournament style, not so much stuff like CoD style)
@Chippies Yeah, but I'm fine with that. I don't really want to have to grind out levels or have to deal with people who have way better gear than I do simply because they have more time to spend grinding.
@Chippies Yeah, I understand. :) My statement was less in regards to Warframe itself and more on those types level-based FPS games in general. Just not quite my thing.
@Chippies I played the multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 with friends (which is 3rd person shooting, not FPS, admittedly, though the same applies) and enjoyed it moderately, but mostly only because my friends were playing. I never played it solo and didn't feel super motivated to excel at it because shooter games just aren't my forté anyway.
Me and my sister can't connect,I can't go in her worlds and she can't come in mine.
The server keeps saying "unable to connect to world."
NEED ANSWERS ASAP
Playing Link Between Worlds, I just found the blue tunic. Is there a way to revert to the green standard one? I checked on the Gear menu, but it doesn't seem like I can remove it.
I'm having trouble with the sliding link combination to the spinning domes. I have the marble grid puzzle done and I have written down the five numbers in the lab journal written down. When I try to slide the links and push the button, nothing happens.
@DavidM "other". As a regular user, never get into an edit war, always flag for a moderator. You don't have any of the necessary tools to deal with a user that wants to vandalize a post.
@SaintWacko In this case simply nuking the question is probably the easiest way to deal with this. It doesn't look valuable enough to keep it if the OP doesn't want to
@Chippies I do like those too, but when your friend circle's kind of done with the game and wants to move on, you're kind of stuck with no one to play with.
I've played like half of the mmorpg's out there and I end up quitting them because 1) my friends don't play with me 2) I'm too stubborn to communicate with randoms
@SaintWacko ah makes sense. Conviction was the first SC game I actually played, because I didn't have the hardware to run previous games at the time.
Digital Foundry has a lot of videos comparing video hardware and configurations youtube link. An a great deal of them there is a line chart moving across the bottom which shows the frame rates and frame times as seen in this crop.

The FIDE chess rules describe that "The game is draw when a position is reached from which a checkmate cannot occur by any possible series of legal moves" (FIDE rule 9.6). This rules is sometimes referred to as "Insufficient mating material rule", and the material that results in draw based on t...
In Dark Souls 1 there were several enemies that would commonly drop Humanity that were within a reasonable farming time. There are more than a few enemies in Dark Souls 2 that drop them as well, but now enemies can only be killed 12 times before they disappear, meaning you only have 12 chances (s...
The game seems to encourage multiplayer more than its predecessors did. When I get summoned and kill a boss successfully I have been given Token's of Fidelity.
Does having more have any effect on my Summon Sign? Am I more likely to bubble to the top or the bottom? Do I gain any boosts? Or are t...
has anyone encountered such a thing? when activating a steam key I am notified that I already own the game and proceeds to installation, but searching for the game in library yields nothing puu.sh/7wLsJ.jpg
the game title is Axis Game Factory and I tried searching for "axis", "game" and "factory" and none returned the game
