@Krazer Now I have no idea what you're talking about.
 
Yes, some personal/artistic liberties were taken, I know.

Q: Name of 2d space shooter video-game

NerianI what the name of a videogame I used to play: This game looks a lot like "Spacezero" in a sense that it had a black background with "stars", green outline of planets and a 2D feel. You start off with your ship on your planet, which was indicated by a square in the center of the planet with the ...

 
@OrigamiRobot common phrases that you might be saying or using wrong, e.g.,"The spitting image" should be "The spit and image" (phrase originate from the old testament)
 
That doesn't tell me what you're talking about.

A: Is it correct to say Person A is the "spitting image" or the "splitting image" of Person B?

HugoSummary Spitting image is the most usual phrase. Spitting image and related phrases (e.g. "he's the [very] spit[ting] [image/picture]") are 19th century. It appears it did come from the word spit rather than split. Its roots may be found in the 17th century, in He resembled him in euerie ...

 
3:08 PM
...splitting image?
 
Splitting image is just silly.
 
@MattЭллен You're not helping.
 
@OrigamiRobot that is a definition of the things that Krazer is talking about
the catergory of linguistics under which they fall
 
@MattЭллен augh no why did I read that
 
3:10 PM
I know what he is saying.
I don't know why he is saying it.
 
> mating name
 
@BenBrocka you cannot look away!
 
Also, looks like they're making a pre-Batman Gotham series that stars Gordon as a rookie detective.
 
@MattЭллен linguistic trainwreck
 
cc @RedRiderX @Unionhawk @OrWhoeverWasObsessedAboutArrow @GnomeSlice maybe?
 
3:11 PM
@Yuki ARROW
 
@BenBrocka yes! :D
 
Arrow does not take place in Gotham
 
@OrigamiRobot as a counter point to @BenBrocka's comment
 
@fredley Have you heard about the new Customized world option in Minecraft?
 
3:12 PM
@Yuki also me!
 
@SaintWacko Such as?
 
@fredley You can change pretty much everything about the Perlin noise generator, and the rest of the world gen
It's fucking beautiful
 
All Health Questionnaires that require me to tick Yes/No for many, many different things should have a 'No to all' button
@SaintWacko unf
 
The first thing I did with it was modify worldgen to have deeper oceans
 
I'm just going to give up here.
 
3:14 PM
@SaintWacko Tiny biomes looks fun
 
@fredley Yeah, and more rivers
 
I should have taken some screenshots of some of my first test worlds
@fredley Haha, yeah
The first one I made was just all ocean with massive towers of sandstone rising out of it
The next one was absolutely gorgeous, enormous mountains rising from an endless sea, with waterfalls pouring off them, but there wasn't really any flat ground, and it would have been really hard to play on
Once I quite messing with the biome weight, and just modified sea level and depth base size, I got some really great worlds
Setting sea level to 95 really makes for a more fun worldgen
 
@3ventic OMG FINALLY BEAT SMELTER
 
:D
Still not there yet
 
3:22 PM
Beat him without taking damage too.
I got lucky and summoned a mage.
Between him and my Lightning Spears, he went down pretty easily.
 
@fredley Did you vanish to go mess with the customized settings? :P
 
get summoned
undead parish
kill balder knights and hollows
go to rescue lautrec
lautrec attacks him
guy dies
 
@BenBrocka you hear about the $500 redesigned NES system? analogueinteractive.com
 
@SaintWacko No, sorry, work :(
@SaintWacko Hard to play on is good
 
@fredley Yeah, but lack of flat land to do anything is less fun
Although I want to try generating it with more caves
 
3:30 PM
@SaintWacko So? Create flat land
Carve castles into cliff faces
 
If I could get those mountains riddled with caves, that would be fun
 
Turn mountains into castles
 
@fredley That would be cool later, but starting is difficult
@fredley I'm actually doing something like that on the world we ended up on. I found a stone island in a harbour where a couple rivers meet the sea, and I'm hollowing it out and putting a lighthouse on top
 
@Krazer A non-emulation console would be cool, but $500 is sort of absurd

Q: What can I do with a dead mouse, an inflatable bag and a charged battery?

NolonarI'm currently in chapter 6, the asylum. I completed every action that is marked as a question mark on the map. I've got a dead mouse, an inflatable bag and a charged battery in my inventory, but I've got no idea what to do next. What am I supposed to do?

Q: Is Black Hole a Knockback?

WerdliIs the spell Black Hole counted as knockback? It would be insane with Strongarm Bracers. I've googled it and some people say it does, while others say it doesn't, does anyone have an offical statement about that or tested this on his own?

 
3:35 PM
@PanicBomb 45 extra for a hdmi adapter
 
How many issues are there with NES emulation?
 
@OrigamiRobot none what so ever
That's pretty much a solved problem
 
That's what I thought. Why is this even needed?
 
@OrigamiRobot speed/flicker
 
3:38 PM
IIRC there are some minor issues with color and sound or something but it's really purist-level kind of stuff
 
I mean, just buy an actual NES.
 
For $500 the least they could do is add Disk System support
 
@OrigamiRobot I spoke to soon, interesting read on the relevant problems: arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/…
 
Hell, there's a Famicom Twin on eBay with a new belt and drive head for $120
 
For example, there's a game that uses mid-scanline tricks to render an airplanes shadow, which are really expensive performance wise to emulate
The game will run with a basic emulator that needs 25Mhz, but it won't render the shadow
 
3:44 PM
@GnomeSlice ...wat. ouya dot tv?!
@KevinvanderVelden That's the SNES
emphasis on the 'S'
 
@badp uuh what
 
in Unix and Linux, 22 mins ago, by Patrick
turned a guy down yesterday, and he will, not, stop, calling.
 
I googled for NES =[
 
The article mentions some stuff about the NES too in my brief skimming
 
guy turned another guy down....
 
3:46 PM
But, I mean, the problem with 100% emulation accuracy is an issue almost regardless of platform
 
Well then, those would be indicative of why emulation is less than optimal
 
c.f. MAME, the poster child for "this should be easy to emulate perfectly but almost none of the games actually are"
 
@KevinvanderVelden Were there even NES games that shipped with custom chips?
 
@badp no idea, before my time =p

Q: Which "Cut the Rope" levels require or encourage non-trivial understanding of physics to complete?

Mark EichenlaubFor example, the final level of the Stone Age section of "Cut the Rope: Time Travel" is best solved by understanding that the disco ball and candies will fall at the same rate, even though they aren't the same size. Some other levels require a reasonably-sophisticated understanding of resonance ...

Q: Some people here are abusing their power

AssylumSo I answered this question: Pros Playing in 4:3 I wrote as a comment below "MAD PAINT SKILLZ!". This was meant as a joke. But someone deleted it. Enough is enough.. Yes, yes, I know you have your shitty "no freedom of speech here" answer, but you know what? I don't care. If we cannot have so...

 
4:21 PM
Gah, this simulation takes way too long to run
 
@SepiaLazers drama!
I have deleted my answer on this question, please also delete my account. I am done. Stack Exchange my butt. — Assylum 3 mins ago
!
 
@SepiaLazers yessssssssssssssssssssss
 
@SaintWacko I won't say what I really think about this, so as to not increase the drama
 
@MBraedley I'm doing the same thing
It's not easy
 
Gaming.NoFunAllowed.Com does have a nice ring to it.
I have deleted my answer on this question, please also delete my account. I am done. Stack Exchange my butt. — Assylum 5 mins ago
 
4:26 PM
@SaintWacko I have a feeling our thoughts are the same
 
I first read that as "Stack Exchange is my butt", which made it hilarious. Only after pasting it in here did I realize I'd misread it. :(

can anyone tell me how to confirm key bindings in Dark Souls 2 on PC?
it shows me xbox keys instead of PC's so I don't know what to press
escape just reverts all changes
 
@Sterno I did the same
 
I somehow backspaced my way out of this problem
 
4:43 PM
@user1306322 It should be ENTER.
 
@Sterno My hero
 
@Yuki it's not
@Yuki not in the key binding menu
 
@user1306322 Yeah, gimme a sec to fiddle with it.
I play with a controller so I didn't have a problem with keybindings.
All right, I got it.
@user1306322 Just left-click out of the keybinding menu once you bind all your keys.
I clicked the wrench/settings icon in the menu just for reference.
 
@Yuki I got away from it by clicking other menus and then backspacing into safety
 
@user1306322 Yeah, I'm saying that's how I confirmed keybindings.
 
4:49 PM
@PanicBomb It's taken from the passenger side.
 
If that didn't work, trying switching to another binding sub-menu and switching back before doing the left-click exit.
 
@GnomeSlice I just see a bit of the steering wheel in the photo :P
 
@PanicBomb I don't think that's a steering wheel, but who knows.
 
@GnomeSlice I dunno, the curvature of that thing in the lower-left seems more like a steering wheel than a sideview mirror (which is the other possibility).
 
/shrug
 
4:50 PM
Actually I'm pretty sure that is a mirror.
 
The angle of curvature on all sideview mirrors I've seen is a bit gentler than that.
 
I was thinking it was part of the dash, but that looks like a mirror to me.
 
it's a UFO
 
the light part is like the shiny edge of the mirror surface
or something
I'm going to eat

@SaintWacko fancy, what are you writing?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Meh, just updating some work stuff
Just client support type things
nothing interesting
I changed... 4 characters
And now I have to spend a few hours testing and submitting forms to get it into the test system
:\
 
@5pike Well, either way, @FEichinger is in Europe, therefore Europe is weird QED.
 
@fredley Not good enough
 
5:01 PM
@SaintWacko =[
 
Needs to convert to sentence case
 
@Sterno Oh, snap
If I could star that twice, I would
 
Although, technically, I can

YES I CAN

@fred a friend of mine is in London and looking for suggestions for dinner. He's said that almost all pubs in the city offer one of three menus, and he's now in one using neither

Q: How can I get past Error: Update Failed in Knights & Dragons?

DronzIn the mobile game Knights & Dragons, I find that chance chests, arena, and the summoning stone always fail with "Error: Update Failed". Any idea how to get past that? I tried sending the developers email, but have yet to receive a reply. I also searched the net, and found one suggestion to use ...

Q: What are some good armors Dark Souls 2

TweaklyI am looking for some light armor in Dark Souls 2 but I want the best I can get meaning best defense rating but still light on my characters back and allows my roll to be performed properly without doing some weird belly flop Any recommendations and locations/seller names? Thank you :)

Just a wolf spider, but NOPE

@SaintWacko IT JUST WANTS TO HUG YOU, LET IT HUG YOU

@spugsley yes'm
 
5:20 PM
@Unionhawk HAHAHAHA
I have a phone interview at 1:30
 
@spugsley your Day 304 picture is awesome
 
Oh StartledCats, you never disappoint.
 
@Unionhawk That is not how cats are supposed to walk
 
for a freelance photography gig :D
 
@Unionhawk No, I can't handle this
 
5:20 PM
@spugsley ooooh
 
@KevinvanderVelden thanks :) Most popular thing I've ever posted
 
@KevinvanderVelden Only if I can hug it back with @AshleyNunn's hug gun
 
yeah that actual interview I had earlier was a scam
fun stuff
 
@spugsley whaaaat
 
@spugsley boooooh
 
5:21 PM
What sort of scam?
 
yeah. They were interviewing me for an event marketing position
when I got there it was actual telemarketing
 
@spugsley Ew
 
Better or worse than "My $relativeHere makes $money a $period working from home!"
 
and there was "no cap to my earning potential"
because it's all commission
 
5:21 PM
@spugsley Double ew
 
yuuuup.
 
Well...at least it wasn't MLM?
 
also there's "only a small fee to get started"
 
That's maybe the only thing worse
 
Dammit, font, why won't you fill with the correct colour?
 
5:22 PM
:/
 
@spugsley Oh, god, triple ew. That's disgusting
 
@SaintWacko yeah definite scam
 
@spugsley oh good, a .. pyramid scheme? I think
 
@spugsley You should report them.
 
@spugsley No kidding
 
5:22 PM
I don't know to who, but someone
 
I am going to.
BBB
 
That's right up there with fake property listings
 
@KevinvanderVelden If the telemarketing was trying to get other people to do the telemarketing
 
@SaintWacko it was. It was also "recruiting new talent"
 
@spugsley OH! Thanks for reminding me, I need to report that lawn care company to the BBB
 
5:23 PM
@SaintWacko well, the telemarketer was trying to offer spugs a job doing the same thing
@SaintWacko "Bed and Bacon Breakfast"?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Ah, didn't realize it started with a telemarketer
 
That sounds like the best thing ever
 
@KevinvanderVelden Better Business Bureau
 
@SaintWacko neither did I lol
 
@fre nvm
 
5:24 PM
@spugsley Oh, he's just making it up? :P
 
WHY DO I HAVE 13 CHROME WINDOWS OPEN
 
@SaintWacko lol no I think she really was. I mean she called me after I emailed about the job and made it sound fancy and good and event management-y
 
@KevinvanderVelden windows?
 
@SaintWacko yes
13 chrome windows with most having a few tabs each
 
@KevinvanderVelden I have no idea. Tabs I could understand, but windows...
 
5:25 PM
And like 3 each having 10+ tabs
 
@KevinvanderVelden WTF
 
My coworker routinely has probably 30-40 tabs open at any given time
 
what are you doing :O
 
So you can only see the icon for each one, if that
 
Do you even browser, bro?
 
5:25 PM
@Kevin? Make stuff up? Never
 
@KevinvanderVelden Wow. Do you have it set to have a separate process for each tab?
 
@SaintWacko I have 93 processes running on my PC atm

Q: Is it worthwhile to go past 40 strenght/dexterity?

OzmahI've been reading regarding builds in Dark Souls 2 but I haven't been able to find an answer to the question. I do know that before reaching that amount, the increase in attack for either strenght or dexterity for each point ranges from 2 to 4 point, but past 40 it is reduced to 1 to 2. Currentl...

Q: Why am I suddenly hostile to the whole world?

JsorI've been doing a Cathar world conquest, and suddenly all hell has broken loose. The entire world seems to be against me... in a weird way. I'm not in any war, everyone is just hostile for some reason. Here's my ruler's diplomacy screen/active wars: As you can see, I have a few truces, but a v...

 
@KevinvanderVelden Total system or just you?
 
5:27 PM
@OrigamiRobot system, but single user system so
 
@KevinvanderVelden I mean more like 93 total or 93 from your user.
 
@OrigamiRobot total, selecting show from all users doesn't increase that number
 
Yea, the number at the bottom is total.
 
There, only 5 chrome windows remain
Given that they're spread over 3 monitors that's acceptable in my opinion

Q: Arqade needs it's moderators removed and the site given a review

AssylumArqade operates after the credo "If I don't like it or I am personally offended by it, I remove it" and on the site there is a user base of two classes. Those who linger on chat to hang out with other high rep users and those who don't. If you dare to discuss those issues with those people on cha...

 
@Assylum ...wait, what?
 
@spugsley Be still. His vision is based on movement.
 
@Assylum MSE regulars tend to agree with and defend the major SE principles, and "comments are expendable" is one of the most famous ones. You're going to get a rather chilly reception on MSE if you complain about an admittely not-useful comment getting deleted.
 
Gentlemen (and @spugsley, who is in fact a gentlelady), I believe I have just created the world's (or at least this week's) most disgustingly-unappetizing-sandwich-using-ingredients-that-are-otherwise-deliciou‌​s-by-themselves.
 
@Yuki @spugsley is like the opposite of a gentlelady

hummus + chicken + pita sounds good, tbh
oh wait, lost me there.
DIE IN A FIRE
 
@Yuki Why?!?!??
 
@agent86 That's exactly why I broke there.
 
@Assylum Aww, but I just had lunch, I couldn't possibly eat drama popcorn now.
 
@spugsley Oh now I see why I can't see what that was referencing. I forgot about how blocking people works.
 
5:53 PM
And I'm not done.
 
I hadn't blocked anyone in so long.
 
@Yuki you monster
 
> 5. Spread peanut butter on the other side of the pita pocket.
> 6. Slice up chicken and put it inside the pita pocket.
 
Not even @GnomeSlice even when I specifically said I was.
 
@Yuki now I will permanently pronounce your name like I pronounce "yucky"
 
5:54 PM
> 7. Grab a banana.
 
@TrentHawkins and @Sterno was just complaining about the lack of quality drama!
 
Why would you mix hummus and peanut butter?
 
@StrixVaria Speaking of this problem, I still need that auto-hide script.
 
@Yuki Confuse level: badp
 
Delicious

@Yuki that sounds yuki.

bacon and peanut butter? wat

where is the mayonnaise?
 
@agent86 I'm currently out of mayo.
 
5:56 PM
2 mins ago, by Kevin van der Velden
@Yuki you monster
 
I don't make sandwiches often enough to warrant always having a jar of mayo on hand.
 
@Yuki better luck next time
 
Bacon is never optional
 
I don't always make sandwiches. But when I do, they are disgusting as f--k.
 
@Yuki I don't always f---, but when I do, it's a disgusting sandwich.
 
5:57 PM
These ideas sound awesome separately. Together? Wat?
 
@Yuki Oooooh
seems nice
 
@Unionhawk He clearly meant "froth"
 
@RedRiderX Don't get your hopes up, it's Fox. They might cancel it mid-season.
On the other hand, this is one series I don't want to see going on for more than maybe two seasons. Three, tops.
 
@badp Still no, try again

Yeah good point
